Yeah, puckeyball is market neutral, not sure what the problem was.

Different person.
But this situation seems classic DK.
Don't want to say I called it, but I **** called it.

I don't know what voy is so I'm not buying that version of the story.
I think it was more a case where she was a far better writer with more contacts than anyone on his staff, and they were jealous. Or at least a certain someone was.

Anyone else follow Steelers Depot/their guys on Twitter?
It’s good material, but I swear those dudes come off a bit too know-it-all and condescending. Dave constantly quote-retweets idiotic tweets to put them down and yeah, we get it, people on Twitter say dumb things. But dude just literally only responds to those and not actual insightful/constructive stuff.

Voy is basically the dirtrags for media people around town. It bears truth as people post anon there.I don't know what voy is so I'm not buying that version of the story.

I don't feel bad about Yohe quitting via e-mail if DK is firing people via text.

Who knows the truth but I went back and re-read DK's intro article on her: https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/2017 ... ey-writer/I don't know what voy is so I'm not buying that version of the story.
I think it was more a case where she was a far better writer with more contacts than anyone on his staff, and they were jealous. Or at least a certain someone was.
"....she wrote 400-plus pieces in that time ranging from news to features to in-depth hockey analysis. She moved back to Western Pennsylvania this summer to be closer to family.
I could go on and on about the countless recommendations sent this way on Katie’s behalf, some of those having begun earlier this summer when she moved back, but let’s just say they came from across the continent, as I’m betting you’ll see for yourself on social media following this announcement. But what I’ve found out myself in interviewing her over the past four days is that she lives and breathes the game, she’s hyper-intelligent on a lot of levels, she’s got the approachable personality to match, and she’s very much a match for what we specifically need on our hockey coverage team."
If that voy post is true, how did she (and I guess all those countless recommendations he received) mislead him?? I mean if she didn't fit his format of the site, you could say that I guess. But misled him on what grounds?
Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread
Gatjka probably didn't like her because she didn't put the correct umlauts on player's names
Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread
I mean couldn't he just confirm that those articles were written by her, and seen her work? He seems dumb.
Pittsburgh Sports Media Thread
She probably told him she didn't like Starbucks and he got pissy and fired her.

If she bamboozeled DK over four days, he's a really dumb person when it comes to hiring people.But what I’ve found out myself in interviewing her over the past four days is that she lives and breathes the game, she’s hyper-intelligent on a lot of levels, she’s got the approachable personality to match, and she’s very much a match for what we specifically need on our hockey coverage team.

Hah, wouldn't be surprised. To go from singing praises and reading everyone's else praises to firing her in a span of two months? She either really pissed him off...or lied? cheated? stole? harassed? I can't think much else to get you canned in that short amount of time. Plus he added that the "full support of the staff (or whatever he said)" something he hadn't done with other firings. I mean maybe she didn't fit with the live game files and the multimedia content but they have others that can do that and that is something that a somewhat half decent employer would work with her to be better. Instead it seems like with DK you look at him wrong on the wrong day and you're gone, except if you are Gajtka apparently.She probably told him she didn't like Starbucks and he got pissy and fired her.
Speaking of him, he has nowhere near the experience of Brown but somehow when the dust settled he is the Pens beat writer? Just weird.

I think it's pretty obvious that Gajtka is a company stooge who will go along with anything to stay employed. No one outside his immediate family even knew he existed until DK hired him.

Here's another gem.

He left 4 months ago Mackey. He's not going to do a WWE heel turn just because he's on another team.We chatted with Fleury for 15-20 minutes this morning. Every bit as nice, funny and personable as he was in Pittsburgh.
