Gloria Allred: Ambulance Chaser of 'Feminism'

[calimary]

11. That was such a mind-bending time.

I won't bore anybody with more details, except to say - you have not lived until you've had the boss - the guy at the top of the management pyramid - sit you down and tell you "you know, you might not be able to get another job in this city if you..."

AND the offer to buy my silence for a few thousand dollars. When my dad heard that, he said "if you can get three thousand, you can get 50 thousand." It was only my third professional (for pay!) on-air job ever, straight outta college and college radio, and I was 23 and I was intimidated to all hell. I didn't press it. Knowing the people I was dealing with, the likelihood was very real that they could say one word out on the links or in the golf cart, or on the tennis court, into the nearest well-connected pair of ears, and I could very well see my career grounded before it had even had a chance to soar. When the situation had begun looking ominous in the weeks previous, I'd found another job so I was able to jump rather than being pushed, and landed well out of range of all that. Which, back then, was really the only option you had - find another gig as quickly as you can, and get the hell outta there! I think not too much has changed, if you really wanna know.
