gannett plans to layoff 3,000 by december.

I hope the suits will stop destroying people's lives.

 

That would require work on their part. Don't hold your breath.

 

maybe it's time for the rest of us to step it up and exit stage left sooner than later. it's a shame we all couldn't do it on the same day and say: "take that mother fuckers." i guess a guy can dream about paying it back.

 

It's a hell of a fantasy, to see every person at every newspaper in America walk out at once tomorrow.

 

I'm game.

Who's with me?

 

Can't, have 14 high school football games. Those kids work too hard to be ignored by us.

 

It was a great plan for 2 minutes and 11 seconds.

 

I'd save it for Nov. 4.

Or perhaps everyone who wins a Pulitzer next year, refuses the award in protest.

 

Mr. Dubow:

How about you decline that multi-million dollar bonus and save a few jobs? Based on Gannett's current standing, we're not really sure you deserve it.

Gannett Employees Concerned About Providing For Their Families

 

But, but, that would be socialism!

 

The Indy Star's publisher put out a memo that said it looks like 95(!) could be let go! There's no way that can be just the newsroom, but that's still way too many. I will pray that number is way overboard, and will also pray for my former co-workers.

 

It would be a great plan if everyone would do it.
