Gannett 1-week furloughs

Or in overtime. Oh, wait ...

 

How many jobs is this 'saving'?

 

There will be more layoffs I'm sure. What makes Gannett different from the other media orgs going through this is that Gannett is profitable, and is absolutely gutting the product on every platform. What will be left when the economy recovers?

 

I've been told that is a distinct possibility. So, four extra weeks off with a 7.6 percent pay cut.

What burned me, though, was the honcho thanking us for our loyalty. Exactly what does it mean to him?

 

Am quite sure the honchos can deal with the manditory furlough than the grunts will..

 

I may have only stayed a couple weeks, but I'm glad I left the Gannett paper and went back to the paper I had left to go to the Gannett paper.

(I think that makes sense)

 

Strangely, it does.

 

Leaving a Gannett paper makes perfect sense.

 

It certainly does.

 

I am wondering SERIOUSLY what this means? I mean does this mean the week you are furloughed you do no work?? Bullshit. The GOOD beat writer will continue to work and ship in items to the paper or help the REPLACEMENT beat writer and get paid nothing. This business is a fucking joke.How can any of you argue with me? That furloughs are better than layoffs? Bullshit. It's all bad and all disgraceful.

 

I am ready to take a stinky dump in Craig Dubow's front yard.

 

L-O-Fucking-L.

Fuck you Craig Dubow.

Fuck you Gannett.

And that's from the bottom of my heart.
