Uhhhm, the community wasn't buying your paper. Ergo you lose, you get nothing, good day....Sir(?)!
I’ve had many jobs, but never have worked for the media, so can’t say how that would have worked out. I’ve had different jobs where I left, but was never actually fired as best I can remember. They usually did something that just made you resentful of the job & you quit & moved on to something hopefully better. Been retired for several years now & doubt if I would ever go back to working of any kind. It would have to be something pretty special if I did.
