Having had the opportunity to work with east folks at my station, I feel that I can say this: They are truly the most hateful people I have ever worked with. To read this thread and many like it and with my daily work activities, I am now one truly depressed pup. I read bobbie with the "Jesus can set you free" talk and her hatred of everyone out west and then I get to work and have my co-workers tell me that they can't wait for the west people to get furloughed before November. Then there are the cruel pranks and harassment they deal out. You can't leave anything laying out as it will be stolen. They don't want it or need it; they just don't want you to have it. The whole thing is just making me sick.
And before you say, "If you don't like, then leave.", I am looking elsewhere now. This merger cannot and will not work. I have seen enough.
