Quote:Ketchman initially worked on some little newsprint thing that the Jags and T.U. did together. (he was paid by the TU)  When the Jags actually hired him exclusively (late 1990's) he became the editor of jaguars.com and an online columnist.   

 

Now think about this.  How many people with the title "website editor and columnist" in 1998 were offered contracts that included a pension plan?   Do you think that was common at that time and at that stage of the internet and the audience it reached?   I sure don't. 

 

Maybe I recall the late 90's differently, but from my recollection companies and investors were sinking money into every net focused enterprise they could find, it was quite the bubble. Maybe Wayne Weaver and his management team were a lot different, but the idea that a retirement package definitely wouldn't be part of someone's compensation at that point in time is wrong.
