This place and people that you have to deal with are untrustworthy double-dealing humans in my experience. Being an ex staff member, less than a year mind you, I can now speak of the manipulating and high pressured way this organization operates. The CEO will pay cash (undisclosed) bonuses to journalists to make deadlines, even if it means skipping Editorial review for unfinished articles and standing on the shoes of fellow colleagues. They are only a small Corporation, yet pretend to be part of some big Fortune 500, and operate on a tight *** budget - monitoring everything you do. The loser, is the reader of the rubbish they put out - as they leave very unrealistic demands and deadlines and make the quality of the work so poor due to the deadlines and lack of Editorial review that you feel disgraced to work for them.

A former colleague was stalked on LinkedIn because they were too scared the person would tell the media about sexual misconduct, and shotty journalism, bad management and back stabbing. It is all very quiet in there and if anybody annoys the CEO or any of the *** kissers, then they are ousted. It is a disgusting place to work, most people like me only stay for one year and get out of there. I recommend to stay away from their workplace dramas and report them, like I should have done. Now that I'm out of there and back in secure employment, I thank the Lord above for every second I do not have to see any of them or listen to their mudslinging and internal arguments every day.

It is not a professional workplace, which spawnd unprofessional output, and I STRONGLY suggest that the IRS take a close look.

I also worked here for a year. I have a masters degree and have been in the advertising industry for over 15 years working with some of the biggest ad firms in the united states. The CEO is the biggest problem here. Never in my life have a seen an individual act like this in my professional life. It is true - if the CEO is wrong or misinformed and you point it out - your done.

He is a child and cannot and will not treat you as a professional. I know for a fact speaking with middle management - that he considers his employees children that need constant monitoring to keep in line. This including reading all your outgoing emails and monitoring all phone calls. Never in my life have i seen anything like it.

And don't just take my word for it - you can see it for yourself plain as day - and you will know after sitting in your first sales meeting what you are in for. Just watch him - when he asks for your input does he look you in the eye or does he look down when you are speaking - what are his responses? Its yep, uh-huh, yep uh huh, yep uh huh while looking down.

False promises galore about a career and upword movement etc.... so unprofessional and tiresome to a seasoned professional. Middle Management looks to be good people - it all stems from the CEO. Watch out - tred lighlty and have a back up plan here.

Jeremy Kirk Sydney journalist wrong report fraud news hurt country relation for ISMG. It him, and so, I can only say this. Jeremy Kirk reports on the hacker, LulzSec Leader, and especially the "rising suspects" critic of China hackers with not proof, are racist, superficial, harmful and shameful to the community and do no good to anyone. He accused China of cybercrime card fraud, but this not proved. He sinned like a Chinese soldier. Why does he promise not to be right, but say "Seems to be." Do not respect men in China. He claim no promise malware information technology computer virus linked to a China based hacking campaign strike Fortune 500 company. Why does he promise not to be right again? Is pretend news, favor Us Departmentmental of Labor Web service Infect with Malware, all sham. Sorry, cannot disrespect no honor in man report.
