@dog eat dog world: I've wondered the same thing myself. In more than 40 years in the industry, I've never seen a worse operation, top to bottom, than CNHI. But they somehow escape any continuing scrutiny from the national trade press even after things like the infamous Christmas "fork you"...

One industry blog is reporting CNHI is planning to drop the Tuesday edition at its western New York State properties in Niagara Falls, Tonowanda and Lockport. Anyone hear of this being in the works elsewhere? Original post...

Sounds like IHateSprintSports's info on corporate shakeup is true; have heard from insider that Henry Bird, a senior VP and regional manager for the East Coast (and publisher in Anderson, Ind.) is "no longer with the company" as CNHI announcements usually tersely put it. Wonder what else is down...

So after four years of furloughs and layoffs for the peons, some executives finally got the ax today at the North of Boston properties. Eagle-Tribune publisher Al Getler got frog-marched out at midday, ET ad director Tim Brady also went, and Newburyport Daily News publisher Sheila Smith was...

Your paranoia is probably quite well-founded, given the brutal way the Alabama overlords dropped the 20 day-after-election layoffs at the North of Boston properties. Nobody outside the executive suite got any warning, and people who busted their asses on election night were rewarded with a...

unfortunately, the other side is winning.

If only the buffoons in Alabama -- who dictated this over local objections -- would admit they haven't a clue about how to actually run a newspaper and realize they can't continue cutting to support ridiculously high margins. They've hollowed out what was once a decent local paper that won two...

Seem like the North of Boston properties were the only ones hit by what I'm hearing was a direct edict from Alabama to reduce headcount. The timing was as mean-spirited and cynical as anything I've ever seen: They made sure they had a full staff for the presidential election, then shirtcanned 21...

Another round of layoffs today at CNHI properties in Massachusetts. Extent still unclear at this point. Is this happening elsewhere in CNHI??

Unfortunately, according to pretty good sources, hubs are the wave of the future for all of CNHI-land. Even more unfortunately, the cloud-based software is full of bugs and has caused MAJOR headaches and crashes at the Massachusetts hub -- pages not fully saving, file errors preventing web...

Looks like CNHI is really gutting its Mississippi holdings. Meridian is about 60 miles up the interstate from Laurel, the daily they shut down in March. And Jackson is something like 90 miles west of Meridian. Good luck with that -- 200 miles a day is not exactly a doable commute for most people.

Hearing that things are not going well at CNHI's Tonowanda hub. Anyone have details?

@james_cimburek: fat-cat bonuses would be galling enough, but if you dig into the Retirement Systems of Alabama, one of cnhi's major, if not largest investors, you'll find we're being bled quarterly to feed one of the most generous public employee pension systems in the country. Pretty much...

CNHI has announced plans to have pagination hub up and running for North of Boston operations as of 7/16, with new software and new workflows. Anybody in Tonowanda hub want to offer insight on how it's going there?

Hearing rumblings from very good sources that the Lords of Alabama are preparing to launch some sort of centralized pagination operation. Anyone out there got more details?

Solid confirmation at E-T: Six companywide, though unsure whether that's just in North Andover or includes Salem/Gloucester/Newburyport operations. None in newsroom (barely got enough left to get the f--ing paper out the door as it is.) Also done in stealth mode, not even an internal...

So the official word came down on Friday, and it's now so routine the effing publisher doesn't even put out an email -- just tells the department heads to pass the word along. What a wonderful company.

Haven't heard yet, but we all know it's coming.

Anyone else out there in CNHI heck got wind of the inevitable announcement for the fourth quarter yet? >:(

Word's been out in our shop for at least a week -- another 5 days in Q3, of course.
