Leading with Threats

Yesterday, FTVLive showed you the internal memo sent to the staff at WBBH (Ft. Myers) from News Director Tim Klutsarits.

It seems Klutsarits was not happy that some Reporters and MMJ’s were not turning a story for the station’s website.

“I’m done babysitting,” Klutsarits said in the memo.

FTVLive got a lot of feedback from people about the internal memo and some also took to social media to weigh in.

One FTVLive reader made an interesting point in a post:

Yes, it appears that Klutsarits is telling staff that if they don’t turn in a web story, he is punishing them by assigning them to the digital team the next day.

If working in the digital department is considered a form of punishment, how does that make the people that work in that department full-time feel?

In a business that is finding it harder to hire on qualified people, maybe treating the people you do have with a bit more respect and not referring to them as “babies” will go a long way in making that happen.

Just saying….
