Gotta guy that keeps filing bugs - "Referencing bug 12345" and I keep having to mark as duplicate of 12345 as it's the same thing... and he just won't stop, even after I explained all he's doing is creating toil. I really hate having to invoke managers...

Let's say you are about to start a local news outlet today.
What does that look like?
Guessing a lot of videoclips across 5-10 social media sites and likely some sort of base website.
3-5 reporters 1-2 Tech People 1-2 Social Media folks.
Not sure if this could work financially.

Imagine that. We get more headcount and I was able to not only dig out of the hole I've been in for six months, I was able to be productive on top of that and actually accomplish things and not feel like a complete burnout.
Funny how that works.

@garyvee.com It seems that many people stop themselves from doing social media because they don't feel they have the right personality. Folks should be reminded that there are plenty of "behind the camera" roles and that working with others is a real and viable possibility.

If you're giving small businesses grief for being open today, realize they're more part of the community than most folks bother with.
They can't afford to be closed on a Friday. Most of them do not support ICE, but they do have to support themselves and their employees.
