The Optics Are Bad On This One....

I have learned and felt over the years that the boss needs to be the boss and not friends with the staff.

It just makes things easier for everyone.

Here’s an example.

Tracey Rogers is the General Manager at Nexstar’s WKRN in Nashville. She posted on her social media that she “hung out” with WKRN Chief Meteorologist Danielle Breezy and her husband two days in a row.

Now, the perception by some in the station is that Breezy is Rogers’ pet employee, and you have to be careful in how you act around Breezy.

While this may or may not be the case, the optics are not good here.

Also, what makes it worse is that not only is Rogers “hanging out” with her employee, she is posting about it on social media.

This is raising the eyebrows of some of the staff at WKRN.

Like we said, bad optics.
