When You're Working At Portfolio, It's Either Joanne Lipman's Way Or The Highway
Both Have Their Merits

And the positive buzz on Portfolio continues with Michael Calderonne's profile piece on Joanne Lipman in this week's New York Observer.

"Even those who support her inside the magazine characterize her learning curve at a monthly glossy as steep, and often treacherous," warns Calderonne.

"Instead of being fired, [Jim Impoco] should have been named editor in chief," snipes one of Lipman's many supporters.

"She thinks she is 100 percent right, 100 percent of the time," agrees another insider. "She just isn't very collegial. The dissatisfaction is spread across all departments."

Chin up, Joanne! Just think—if you were still at WSJ, you'd be working for a self-serving pathological egotist right now!

Instead, well, you are one.
