I should have done this a long time ago. Inspired by my random question in yesterday's Real Time Comments:
ReplyDeleteI am: male/former Gannett employee.
Now, what about you?
I am a 58 yo Gannett-castrated male former employee. A warning to the rest of you!

ReplyDeleteI'm a female print reporter with 13 years in and no long-term future here in sight.
ReplyDeletefemale/former Gannett employee
ReplyDeleteI am a 43 year old, female journalist. 11 years w/Gannett, 20-plus in the business. Hanging on by a thread. Hoping to not get laid off until the US economy shows at least some signs of life. Wishing I were younger so I could go hide in academia for 4 or 5 years.
ReplyDeletefemale 45 sales 18 years with Gannett
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone in corporate care that our Web sites are TOO SLOW? Or that they are poorly organized and hard to navigate? I hate using our site. I routinely field calls from folks who can't find articles online, after being told when and where they would publish. Even I have trouble finding things.
ReplyDeleteMama Gannett: If digital is your favorite child, why don't you take better care of your baby?
10:31 at least your not hiding under the desks like some. we're not talking movie-stars either.
ReplyDeleteI am: female/14 year veteran, 48 yo, production artist. Too young to die, too old to start over again.
ReplyDelete42, female print employee. Eighteen months in current gig, going on 14 years steady employment in the business. Hoping things will get better soon.
ReplyDeleteFemale, 40s, quit a year ago, now back in school to become a teacher.
ReplyDeleteI'm a 49 year old female, who grew up respecting journalists, and a former avid newspaper subscriber and reader. That started changing, when by the end of the '80s, when one realized that the news media, print, television and radio no longer honored their previous commitment to reporting in the public's interest.
ReplyDeleteI stopped subscribing over the years, as I could no longer support something that was increasingly disconnected from, and disinterested in the realities that were increasingly impossible to ignore. They certainly didn't care about real government corruption, the betrayal of citizen's civil rights, the violations of our constitution, and that was just during the Clinton administration.
It was during the lead up to and during most of the Bush years, when most of you were little more than water carriers for our that awful man. When the media finally started questioning him, it seemed more like they were following a script.
I simply do not trust any so called "journalists" any longer, nor does my young adult daughter. The lot of you don't care about us, you either swing back and forth between the neo-cons and the neo-left, both fascistic extremes, depending on whose offering the biggest inducement.
You destroyed something intrinsic to our formerly free society, and for little more than caprice. You walked all over human beings, who were being displaced, whose lives were destroyed, because it served your corporate paymasters interests. No courage or heroism on your collective parts. Citizens jobs outsourced based on lies, citizens displaced based on lies, and not a man jack among you had the decency to research the facts and report the truth.
Do you know how many good and decent citizens, men and women, have had their lives destroyed by corrupt policies, their children deprived of a future? How many good and decent young men and women, citizens, lives were taken away by the media giving Bush a pass to push us into a war based on lies?
My husband died, because of the health care crisis, and a corrupt democratic senator, who feigns such commitment to a claim of principles, didn't care enough to help us when it would have mattered... had he made a small effort, my husband's life would have been saved. What is even worse is that the hell my family went through is repeated on a daily basis across the US, and too many have it much worse.
While you whinge and moan about how unhappy you are, now that it's your turn to be tossed away, please remember, that you brought it on yourselves. You didn't care when it was the blue collar workers in the '80s and '90s, or the tech workers and others in the '90s through the '00s. You just kept furthering the lies that caused all the pain, oblivious to the fact that in the end it would happen to you.. I mean, what comes around, goes around, isn't that the old saying?
It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
Female/current Gannett employee currently raked over the coals weekly for a website that I have less and less control over each day. How are we supposed to innovate when the areas on the site we have control over shrink with every new initiative?
ReplyDeleteOur pageviews/unique visitors never recovered from our Go4 transition. Our site is slower than ever. I could tell such great stories, but I can't reveal myself right now. It's just crazy.
I'm sending $5 out in the mail today, Jim, for Q1 2008. Thanks!
You are NEVER too old to start over again! We all have something that drives us in this lifetime. We cannot give up on our passions! Do not ever let any company or Gannett take that away from you! We all have something to contribute.
ReplyDeleteRandom question: Any other shops required to submit something weekly saying you interviewed a minority source? It seems absolutely racist to me.
ReplyDelete38 male 10 years w/gannet laid off.oh advertising.
ReplyDeleteMale, ad artist. And going to the kitchen in desperate search of a couple of cookies. Hey, it ain't the best of times for us Gannetteers, but you gotta keep the little pleasures in life.
ReplyDeletelook , this could be serious. swear i read from one of kate maymount's memos that corporation is trying to maintain ethical standards for journalists as if there is something afoot that could threaten that - and it was a few days befor ehte contnet one info starting coming out. what in the heck is content one, why is not "news " one and why is it in the PR division ? is this news or not - please , can someone elighten me on this ? and does anyoen else remember this memo where where kate marymount made a reference to some debate over journalism ethics ?
ReplyDelete53, male. Starting my 35th year in pressrooms, 27 of them in newspapers, the last 10 1/2 for Gannett.
ReplyDelete37 y.o. duuude, 20 years in, journalism degree but never a journalist. Instead I've been in prepress/composing, with a little bit of ad sales along the way.
ReplyDeleteLove my job, love my boss, love my coworkers. Married one of my coworkers, in fact. Love my half-price subscription and being part of the daily miracle.
Hate the economy and the moves we have to make to work around the recession. Hate that people in the community and in the building are losing their jobs. Hate that hardly anyone makes decent ad revenue online.

48 male w/only 4 years with Gannett.....but 25 years in production, all commercial shops with only 4 years at a newspaper.....boy I tell ya the newspaper people really need to learn a thing or two about what production means.... we work very hard in newspapers but there is so much wasted time waiting....products late: adv. supplements late, commercial jobs late, and a bunch of people to fat dumb,worried but still happy to do nothing for hours at a time......
ReplyDelete71-year-old male whose work history includes 16 years as a reporter and editor for Gannett. Took early retirement in 1992 to join the Foreign Service. Even then, Gannett cared little about quality, although obviously things have gotten much, much worse. But I made a career change at 55 (in better times, to be sure). Almost all posting here are younger than that. It's not too late.

ReplyDelete3:31 said: "corporation is trying to maintain ethical standards for journalists"
ReplyDeleteMy guess is they'll start writing up people for "ethics" violations per letter of the policy right before they lay them off.
Case in point: I spent 12 years with the company and never had so much as a blemish in my annual reviews until the last one which came completely out of left field. It was a setup for my layoff which came just a few weeks later.
I looked at filing an age discrimination suit but with that single bad review in my file, Gannett succeeded in documenting a BS, contrived and concocted "performance issue". It wasn't enough for them to win the case hands down mind you, but it was enough so that no attorney wanted to take the age discrimination case.
There's some really clever pricks pulling the strings at corporate legal - they're all making damned sure their ducks are lined up so these cases are very unattractive for any lawyer to pursue.
They've lined up the percentages across the corporation so they don't justify age discrimination on a grand scale even though single cases are very obviously so. But like I said, even with the single cases they've covered their asses. The whole "New Digital Media" reorg redefined jobs and job titles. So if you were a 55 year old "Sports Editor" your 24 year old replacement became a "Digital or New Media editor". There's no direct naming correlation between what you did and what the new kid is doing, although the job is exactly the same. All this does is muddy the water some more, and remember, Gannett told us this was coming back whten they did the digital media center newsroom reorgs. They said that some jobs would evolve, responsibilities would change and some jobs would no longer exist. Further documented evidence that precludes a law suit.
Clever - very clever.

When's the last time anyone's seen an in-depth article like this in any of our Gannett newspapers?
57 year old former Gannett Circulation Director - same position now just a different company and, while it could change any day, the stress levels are lower here than in Gannett.

ReplyDeleteFemale former Gannett employee. Out in January 2008.
ReplyDeleteTo 10:53. Gannett doesn't care that the website is to slow. Gannett doesn't care if it's hard to navigate. Gannett doesn't care how what or when readers get news coverage. They will cut every reader option possible. They just don't care and subscribers are finally getting it!
ReplyDelete48 former circ.director canned in sept. I would like to know what papers are doing well with their regional directors now and what gains are shown?

49 and laid off after a life in newspapers, but I refuse to let Gannett define my life. Don't stop thinking about tomorrow.
ReplyDelete48 year old female.. current Gannett employee. Finance.
ReplyDelete"Hey Prudence won't you come out and play" "Hey Prudence it's a brand new day"? wait no.. it's the same old crap.
42-year-old low-level editor. 22 years in the business, 12 of them with Gannett. I still love my job. I wish it loved me back. Maybe, it turns out that Gannett just isn't that into me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Springfield still does it but the newsroom used to have a program called "One a day, everyday." Everyone in the newsroom (including clerks, photogs, etc) were required to turn in the name and contact info of a minority source for a database that the ME kept or show in a story that a minority was used. They were compiled by the office admin person. Had to do it everyday... not many did and there was never anything done about it.
ReplyDelete11:51 p.m. said a mouthful.
ReplyDeleteI'm a 43-year-old female former print journalist, who got into the field rather late following a decade in state government.
Admittedly, I entered the field because I love to write (a purely selfish motive), but it was also partly in an effort to correct some of the wrongs that I perceived existed in the state of American journalism.
Sure, 11:51, the journalist's world soon becomes chock full with exactly the types you describe - and they let me down, too.
On the other hand, I have worked side-by-side with some of the most passionate, idealistic journalists, who care as deeply about accuracy, truth and exposing corruption as you do.
This, in spite of paltry wages, lousy benefits, pitiful mileage reimbursement rates and even less moral support from many of their higher-ups than ever before. So many lose heart, or courage, and I understand now from firsthand experience how it happens in a corporate world where the bottom dollar is more important than principal - or people.
I'm no longer in the business, at least not directly, as I hope to apply that journalistic integrity in a different fashion. One thing my experience has taught me - until you've personally strapped on that worn-out shoe leather - then don't judge the wearer too harshly.
11:51 pm - go read some history of newspapers. the last 20-30 years have been relatively calm and unbiased compared to the century before that. Sorry you're having problems.
ReplyDelete61 - let go in August, position eliminated . . . unemployed since. At 61 not a lot of people are interested in hiring you . . .
ReplyDeleteCraig Debow has scheduled a 1 p.m. conference call Friday with all Gannett employees ... we've heard we'll be able to ask questions. Does this mean we're being broken up and sold in pieces?
ReplyDelete44 yo female, reporter, 11 years w/Gannett, 23 in biz.
ReplyDeleteclosed-door meetings b/t exec. editor, managing editor, metro editor @ our paper yesterday. Closed doors used to provoke mild curiousity. Now they spawn impending panic.
This blog is getting disgusting. These read like personal ads. And you people whine about Metromix.
ReplyDelete35, female, former Gannett editor. Laid off in December. 10 years in the biz; six with Gannett.
ReplyDeleteHome with a 3-year old and a 3-month old.
Would give just about anything for a job right now -- any job.
We're being made to sign ethics pledges at my place. Is this company wide?

ReplyDelete46, male, reporter. Hey--I heard a few more of the weeklies got shut down this week. Can anyone confirm?
ReplyDeleteGannett is getting what they deserve. A company full of no nothings. It's a pleasure seeing them fall flat on their face.
ReplyDeleteMale 61 laid off last month after 22 years with Gannett
ReplyDelete9:28am ... you ask about gains after your departure in Sept. I was a CD, also canned in Sept at 55 yrs old. The "Regional" direction seems to be a disaster. My ex-employees seem to have been quite loyal to me as I get updates all the time.... and the numbers are horrendous. I can't wait to see the March ABC report !!!!
ReplyDeleteMale, 45. Left Gannett ten years ago. In Tech. Business is good at my current paper.
ReplyDeleteThe first edition of NewsWatch that officially says it is produced under the direction of Kate Marymont is up. I hope-to-god it isn't an indication of the type of direction we can expect under Marymont. It is even more shallow and self-congratulatory than Currie's used to be.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, 10:29. Your display of phony outrage earns you the award for being the most desperate pro-corporate whiner on Jim's blog.
ReplyDeleteWhen I came back today after taking off 3 of my furlough days I was told I have to pass a drug screen before I can start working again. Is this for everywhere? Hourly only?
ReplyDeleteTo 9:05 a.m.
ReplyDeleteOur small minded editors included diversity in our budget lines for the news meeting. It was as important as story length or slugline. If you did not have a "yes" next to diversity, you were expected to explain why. I think this was in the News 2000 era.
I am no longer a reporter (left Gannett of my own accord in 1999, so I'm catching up via the blog. Sometimes I miss it. But I certainly don't miss the crap.
11:54
ReplyDeleteSigning the ethics policy was an annual thing where I worked.
52 male. Love my job. Those who complain about age discrimination are often the ones who just complain. Lead the way, adapt, be out in front of technologies and ideas and be a positive person. Plan your future, be self-reliant...YOU ARE NOT MAKING SHOES IN A FACTORY so act like it. Take responsibility for your life and career. If/when I get the walking papers it will be with a thank you for a great ride and I'll move on to the next.
ReplyDelete52 Years old... Paperboy, circulation, Pressroom. 36 years in the biz. Sick to death what companies like Gannett (Investment Groups!) have done to newspapers and journalism in general. Now they're hell-bent on turning us into Information Prostitutes. Can there be a worse epitath?
ReplyDeletemale, voluntary lay-off, I heard the band and saw the water. For those left behind it'll get better, you have your friends and you have your family lean on them if need be
ReplyDelete11:56, as a former community conversation editor, you're absolutely correct.
ReplyDelete1:07 AM
ReplyDeleteNot weekly, but had to fill out a detailed mainstreaming and diversity report monthly. Why? The boss said it had something to do with the EE's bonus!
Here's the kicker:
One time we got an email, scolding us for not being as timely with M & D reports as was one single reporter. The reporter, the shining star who the boss held up as an example for the rest of us, had a skimpy report with a few entries. "Slackers" like me had pages.
I'm just sure that one reporter got an A+ in mainstreaming and diversity and I probably got an F. (Didn't stick around long enough to find out.)
I understand Craig Dubow will be releasing an audiocast at 13.00 (Eastern) tomorrow. Ominous, coming just a few hours after the quarterly earnings call.
ReplyDelete1:20 Thanks! I didn't think it could get better losing CD's. You guys knew your markets better than anyone else. You just never had a decent budget to work with.
ReplyDeleteI'd be pissed if I'd been laid off from Visalia:
ReplyDeleteWe are hiring for a new consolidated copy desk that will produce three daily newspapers, special sections and handle some online duties such as the nightly online feed and posting updates. The ideal candidate would be able to spot holes in stories, find errors and write strong headlines. The ideal candidate would also be able to design and paginate attractive pages. These are full-time positions with benefits. Shifts are mostly evening and Sunday. Please send email resumes and links to samples to llgreen@gannett.com, or by snail mail to Executive Editor Linda Green, PO Box 31, Visalia, CA 93279.
To all Marketing Directors layed off: How do you see the "new" Regional Marketing directors sucessfully turning around your newspapers imagine?
ReplyDeleteCan you please turn the heat on in Cherry Hill?
ReplyDelete5:07, It's happening all over.
ReplyDeleteFemale/Former Gannettoid/20 Years in Gannett (25 in Newspapers)50+
ReplyDeleteWorked in 4 Gannett Properties in many departments: Production/Circulation/News/Marketing. Left after 10+ years as a director (worked my way up, worked 60+ hrs a week average the entire 20 years). Left 2 years ago when I was on a task force at corp. where they asked us to figure out how to eliminate our own jobs and departments. Duh.
Left for a better job. More money. 40 hour weeks. NO WEEKENDS. And best of all they treat me like a person. My boss is human too.
Hi Folks,
ReplyDeleteConsidering the state of Gannett and with an upcoming Board of Directors election, do you think we can get a grassroots effort to get at least one seat on the board? If so, I might run.

In regard to that Visalia job, the headline they put on the job listing at www.journalismjobs.com was this: "Where Have All the Copyeditors Gone?"
ReplyDeleteLet's all sing in chorus: "Been laid off, every one, When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
Clark Kent, I will vote for you.
ReplyDeleteThat's just tacky to ask where they've all gone.
ReplyDelete5:12 I am going to disappoint you but it is working out great. We use the VP from Des Moines. She is extremely smart and very helpful. We haven't skipped a beat. It is working
ReplyDelete6:46 You're not disapointing me at all. It's working out great fantastic! So increased circulation? Increased revenue growth? That's highly doubtful.
ReplyDelete5:12 Not skipped a beat? What world are you??? I think you're two cents short of a dollar.
ReplyDelete5:12, apparently good enough is good enough. I doubt too that circulation has improved. They were able to cut out some higher salaries and it seems that is all they were thinking about. It is almost as if they aren't really concerned about circulation numbers anymore.
ReplyDeleteTOP TEN IDEAS CRAIG DUBOW WILL UNVEIL FRIDAY FOR FIXING GANNETT:
ReplyDelete10. Corporate jets will fuel up using Ink-thanol (one part old ink, nine parts B.S.)
9. In honor of founder, limit all corporate alcohol expense account purchases to wines only from Upstate New York’s Finger Lakes region.
8. Move Digg swag production from China to Tuscon – use soon to be fired employees to save unemployment match.
7. Introduce Taco Tuesdays thereby limiting executive staff meals (and Cincy publisher) to only four days of white linen / silverware service.
6. Require all employees to deliver at least one paper route on way into work.
5. Introduce end-roll / newsprint scrap usage in all Gannett rest-rooms.
4. Use moms.com’s paid “conversation starters” to write more blow-job posts – sell ad space to Playboy, Hustler, etc.
3. Increase profits by charging ContentOne users higher rates than AP.
2. Black-mail cheating spouses captured by Metro-mix photographers.
1. Blame it all on Al.
We're all ready using the end-roll newspaper scrap in our restrooms! Choose another.
ReplyDeleteOther ideas submitted by Craig that have yet to be given board approval…
ReplyDelete- Donate USA Today to Gannett Foundation for charitable deduction, then let me (Craig) quietly donate it to one of my personal charitable foundations in my name.
- All employees will be assigned a number from one to twelve – and depending upon number shown on a roll of dice, that group will be furloughed during that quarter.
- Relieve Tara from her PR duties and hire newly terminated Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich.
- Reverse split stock 10 to one, then claim “what price decline are you talking about?”

ReplyDeleteTomorrow Jim will be asking everyone for their zip code. Again...Jim, why are you zagging your visitors?
ReplyDelete9:13- is a true professional.
ReplyDeletejim, next question: How many hours a week do you work, and what do you put on your time sheet?
ReplyDeleteAnd to you, Jim, how many hours a week do you put into the blog?
47 yo female/former 23 yr Gannett employee.
ReplyDeleteHappier than I have been in a very long time!
9:13 PM - Hell, I wish the management at my location would make a f'ing decision, good or bad. They're too damn scared.
ReplyDelete44 female 23 years with gannett. Call me a witness to many dirty secrets.
ReplyDeleteYes, someone should turn the heat on in Cherry Hill by getting rid of the complete jerkoffs who they've kept there including the useless EE, the A D and her band of hangers-on who've been kept there like a bunch of sorority girls with nothing to do but waste time and money. We all bet that publisher Lafferty has heat in his office (not from Gannett but from the spaceheater) while everyone else freezes. the brilliant suits in Virginia need a major, large and bigtime house cleaning at the courier post. Retail sales director and about 1/2 of the idiots under her -- oops --- need to go. Please turn up the heat as someone said earlier today.
ReplyDeleteIs it true that you are not allowed during furlough to check email etc? Is this correct for all Gannett employees including management? We have a manager at our plant that can't "live" unless she takes charge.
ReplyDelete41 yo. Male. 15-years w/Gannett. Left on voluntary layoff, December 3rd. Had new CAREER within 2 weeks. Love my NEW job much better than Gannett position, even though it pays a little less. Much more satisfaction & respect for new employer. Still getting Severance, plus check from new employer on alternating weeks. Looking forward to phat Income Tax Refund(tm) and PHAT(!!) Pension Check. Happy to be away from Gannett - no regrets in leaving. Have friends still there that are miserable. Maybe one day they'll see the light and bail before this ship sinks completely to the bottom. The change was for the btter!
ReplyDeleteDOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN WE WILL RECEIVE OUR 2008 W2 FORMS?
ReplyDelete10:01 PM wrote: "Is it true that you are not allowed during furlough to check email etc? Is this correct for all Gannett employees including management?"
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Here's part of an e-mail we received: "The company has the capability of knowing who has accessed their e-mails during furlough. Anyone found accessing e-mail, on company property or performing work (of any kind) during their furloughs will face having their furlough week charged to vacation and assigning a new week for their furlough."
Remember: Big Craig is watching.
10:45 PM shouted: "DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN WE WILL RECEIVE OUR 2008 W2 FORMS?"
ReplyDeleteBy law, they must be mailed by Jan. 31 - so it should be soon. Company always waits until the last minute in the past few years.
I was employed by Cherry Hill a year ago. Routinely an ad director drives enterprising sales. The AD in CH crusaded g/scout cookies.

I'm 34, male and a former Gannett employee. Was at the paper for 15 years, 10 of which were full time. I fondly remember the days before our paper was owned by Gannett. Ah, the good life.
ReplyDeleteI found a job in another industry (miraculously) and left the company in late November, just before the latest round of layoffs. Still waiting for my pension payout.
