And why anyone interviewing at CBS also got the short stick

So who’s the CNN human resources head that Early Show No. 2 Michael Rosen is marrying? She’s Jane Caplan, and her reputation certainly precedes her.

We’re told that on more than one occasion, Caplan has interviewed CBS staffers looking for a new gig at CNN, and then passed that information back the tiffany network, where Rosen would have a chance to either a) fire the CBS staffer; b) trash the staffer’s reputation at CNN, thus killing any chance they could be hired away. One horror story retold to us went down exactly like Scenario B. But interestingly, another source says Caplan’s information trading scored them promotions, having been able to leverage the wrongdoings into better jobs.
