Engineering Follies - Dealing with the station staff

(Got a story - please share it with us!)

Getting along with station staff - especially those that are not part of the on-air and tech departments - can be a challenge.

These stories can happen anywhere, not just in radio. However, perhaps they are worth a chuckle or two, as a look at dealing with the human condition.


Exhibit 1 - I had a co-worker who was always more important than others. She would page people, to have them call her. She would never ever dial their extension.

One day she paged me. So, I paged back, "Tom is at extension 136. Always has been."

The rest of the staff picked up on that, and used it every time. Our Problem person was trained pretty quickly.
