Dead but it doesn't know it yet - Anonymous employee American Media Employee Review

There were a lot of nice people working there, but CEO David Pecker is a world-class narcissist, a probable sociopath and arrogant dim-bulb who often insisted on dictating the contents of certain tabloid covers despite the fact that those particular issues had a consistent history of not selling well. For further proof of his imbecilic nature, look no further than his pathetic, years-long insistence on publishing butt-lickingly sycophantic articles about Donald Trump, whom I'd call his soul mate if either gentleman could be said to possess a soul. Raises have been nonexistent at AMI for virtually decades, and for many years, with nothing for employees to look forward to but near-annual layoffs and the expectation that they would consequently be obliged to take on more and more responsibility and a larger workload without so much as a thank you from management, the work environment could best be described as a suffocating morass of resentment, fear and negativity. Kind of like The Walking Dead, but with flesh-eating kept to a minimum. The business as a whole is a zombie-like entity, for that matter. As tabloid sales steadily decline, year after year, it can only continue to lurch and stumble forward for a very limited time longer.
