"Must have reliable transportation for visiting clients regularly."




A skateboard is best. Visiting clients means going door to door begging for subscriptions.

Crappy product. Lousy circulation numbers. Business is turning against the observer.
Only take this job for the base...you won't see any commissions.

Charlotte observer is trying to force employees to pay back a loan they gave out to employees and are enforcing a penatly for repayment because they made a tax error when giving out the loan. don't sign the paper you got see the newsroom staff, we have a tax attrny who can help. you dont have to pay back the penalty just the amount you actually recieved.

Gosh I really want a job at a company like this one! Where do I apply?
I am about to lose my job as a paid healthcare supporter attending Town Halls and holding up Obama signs. This sounds like just the place I would like to work.
