U-T Axes 34 to 40
"Blabby" Burl Stiff was axed last year by the UT but brought back as a freelance "writer" for special events such as opening day at the Del Mar races and the fabulous Jewel Ball -- things that rich people do. He recently complained Platinum Equity had not yet paid him (at $250 a pop) after he submitted five separate invoices for his comeback work. Full time staffers who have submitted monthly reports for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses and vehicle mileage also have complained, saying UT/PE takes six to eight weeks to reimburse employees. In the old glory days, one could go to the Accounting Department and walk through an expenses claim in a matter of hours, or at the most wait about a week or two. If the UT really wants to change things editorially, it needs to end society scene stories and stop pandering to the La Jolla 500. It's 2010, PE, not 1910.— June 19, 2010 7:52 a.m.
Two Top U-T Officials Get the Axe
I believe Karl Zobell was quietly dumped long ago by David Copley. Something about an email message Mrs. Zobell wrote, quoting her husband's harsh criticism of David. She mistakenly sent to someone who turned out to be a David groupie. Oh, the dangers of email!— May 29, 2009 4:23 p.m.
