#1 no camera operators in the studio
The only comment that stayed with me after the show of the 15th, was Mr Patterson's comment about camera operators...
Is it true that there are no stage personnel operating the cameras?
This hit me hard, if I heard him right.
Why is it that Obama talks about jobs, and Republicans offer a better job environment---
When every business is trying to eliminate jobs as fast as possible?
I have friends that were camera operators as volunteers.
When any of them got a paying job in media, it was a dream come true.
Business wants to eliminate dreams.
"Find another dream" isnt the answer.
There's just no economic or personal hope.
#2 Robotics
The cameras are now operated remotely through robotic controls. While it is true this has eliminated a need for some jobs, WATE was able to make some staff reductions through normal attrition, and also train and place others into new positions.
