Hey Rockbottom.....

You say during an interview with Little Melvin he swore ten times?  Is that right?  I wonder if that's a requirement to be a Lector at his Lutheran Church.  What do you think?

His son did not swear it was Mel who swore. I am not a prude who can't handle a few curse words but  If you can't go more than 5min without throwing out profanity's in what is supposed to be a professional setting, (a job interview) then you have little if any self control. Mel went on and on about the lazy good for nothing people he hired, but did not know where I was coming from when I brought up the fact that he was the one who continued to hire these people and must share some of the responsibility. I interviewed in Wash before going on to Knoxville and the staff there made several excuses for Mel's behavior which of course set off a red flag in my mind! I liked Wash, looked like a nice town but no way would I ever want to work for that guy!

I worked for Mel in Washington for 1 1/2 years, and I have to say, thanks to him being so far away, normally, it wasn't too bad.  I was young, inexperienced and learned a lot.  Most of what I learned from him and his company was how NOT to treat people and the negative impact of not respecting employees.  We went through 22 people the 18 months that I was there.  Mostly sales staff, but we did go through a few GM's, GSM's and Jocks as well.  I was the PD there and was told many, many lies and had to do some of the engineering myself, because Mel was too cheap to fix stuff.  He's a self-involved hippocrit that only thinks about what he wants, not what the people listening to his station want and need.  Dr. James Dobson was a huge program for him.  Not for his listeners or what was good for the station, but for Mel. Since he liked it, he thought everyone should.
