I'm the first "young person" thats been hired at the local newspaper for years. And the only reason why is that District Manager knows my husband. I was tempted to leave early too, my wrists and fingers hurt, my car has taken a real beating, and I'm TIRED all the time. but I'm stayin around - earning major brownie points by being nearly the only person there not getting complaints every night when the others are and theyve been there 20+ years. I'm settled in now and enjoying it but I agree about the guys...

Any new guy, young or not, that Virginia (DM) tries to hire ends up quiting, getting fired, or not showing up.

The last young guy she hired before me, worked for 1 week, and on Sunday when the routes the biggest ((300+ papers)) he rolled all the papers, and left. Around 8:AM Virginia starts getting major complaints in, nobodys got their paper. She goes to his house and finds his car full of the papers parked in the drive, and he was inside SLEEPING! and when she fired him he couldn't understand WHY!!
