Like Dave Chappelle, we hear voices. And sometimes, the voices tell us things about the state of unrest at BusinessWeek. Jon Fine, the mag newborn media columnist, reportedly has some staffers getting pissy. Specifically, it's not the typical BW protocol to bring in an Outsider for a Big Position, especially when said position happens to be a major column that, coincidentally, no one even knew was in the works. Not that any of this is Fine's fault, but he might want to keep an eye on his coffee mug.

Making things a bit more tense is newish BW EIC Steve Adler — who, we hear, is less than adored around the office. Certain managing editors particularly clash with him, and Fine's recent climb up the ladder has some veterans claiming they are "not long for this world." How...dramatic.

Typical office jealousy and bitchery? Oh, you know it. And you love it, too, you filthy voyeur.
