Brutal business.

You can add two more beat writers to the list of staffers whose jobs were eliminated at NBC Sports Chicago. Patrick Mooney, who covered the Cubs for the network, was laid off in the company’s “restructuring process.” And Tracey Myers resigned voluntarily as Blackhawks writer to join NHL.com. Among a dozen layoffs last week was White Sox beat writer Dan Hayes. By one count, at least 25 full-time employees have left through layoffs and attrition in the past year, with none replaced. An NBC Sports Chicago spokesman confirmed the departures of Mooney and Myers but declined to comment.

Dan Hayes blocked me on twitter for not reason, so he can go fuck himself.

Tracy really had nothing of interest to say when she would be a guest on air, so no big loss.

Who gives out pink slips 2 days before a holiday?

She didn't really have anything interesting to say, but she also didn't have infuriating stuff to say like Laz. When will the Sun Times finally cut him loose?

You should know that that's a Wirtz/Reinsdorf tradition.

I once got fired on December 22nd. They did pay me through the end of the year, though.

I always thought Mooney worked for the Cubs as a Vineline guy or something. It's a sad state of affairs in the print and broadcast business. Only the very young survive because they make the least amount of money.

Another Cub media partner feels the sting of their association with the team when they thought it would be a windfall

My manager thought I was doing a bad job and they let me go. It was just she and I in our little sub-department. I was only there for about six weeks. My first week there the person who had previously held that position said my manager was useless and everything she knew about the job she learned not from her but from the person who had it before she did. On several occasions, including a company party, I heard people from other departments making fun of my manager who was apparently regarded as kind of a joke.

There was apparently a lot of turnover in that position both before and after I was there.
