NBA social media employee posts rant using official account
Already deleted, but this is the exact quote:
“How do I log out of this?
Haven’t worked here in weeks. Anyway, the NBA overextends it’s social media employees greatly to the detriment of their health and social lives for a salary of less than $50k annually after taxes.
I worked 14 hour shifts without breaks at times. Shoutout Adam Silver.
We don’t get health insurance until 90 days on the job! That’s silly isn’t it?
Glad I resigned, no need for a job to get in the way of your happiness.
There's no such thing as bad publicity. I used to think that was hyperbole, but after watching the orange guy, the long rat, the nerdy book of faces guy, the puffy lips ladies with a famous lawyer daddy, and a slew of other people outrage themselves to the top, I believe it.
I make about $50K after taxes which I think is pretty good. But I guess maybe that guy lives in a HCOL area while I'm living in Indy. My salary wouldn't go as far in a lot of the larger metro areas.
If the 14 hour shifts mean 70 hours a week, then that's bad pay. That's about 20k a year base salary and the rest in overtime. If they even pay overtime
... And add that to my pile of reasons to never get verified.
There should always be some form of plausible deniability from social media accounts, and the guy controlling the offical account could have done much, much worse just by having a blue checkmark if they are intending on revenge.
It's not clear to me what you're getting at here... Then again, the bucket full of shit I don't understand is a much heavier bucket than the one with shit I do understand.
I love how we went from "Ha! The lowly intern who run this company on Twitter is hilarious" to thinking there's no way they would run their official accounts with interns but actual marketing managers. Little did we know we were right all along.
