    Wow. That's awful. I'd give everyone in my staff a heads up. Then again, I don't have a staff.

    Gannett Blog is also starting to get reports that the layoffs will happen Tuesday and Wednesday. It's going to get ugly there, folks.

    Why would you fire someone then make them work out the week?That's totally fucked up.

    I don't think anyone would have to finish the week. I know conventional wisdom says end of the week for layoffs, but Gannett staffers have been through the wringer in the months since the cuts were announced. End the torture.

    No one ever accused Gannett of having rhyme or reason for doing anything.

    But if they fire you on a Wed. and say you can finish the week and you don't does that mean your eligible for unemployment?

    I think it's too late already. Word on GB is that the Jersey papers have already started making cuts...
