How to find me, on you-know-where

I'm trying to use that social network more often, now that I see it has a chat feature. Find me there by searching for Gannett Blog. Facebook brought me my first readers: An employee discovered the blog, then posted a note on Facebook's Gannett employees group.

Updated on Aug. 24. A reader notes a caution for current employees: "If we friend you, Corporate will find out. There are lots of Corporate people on Facebook."

  2. I just found this blog a couple days ago when searcing for information on Gannett on the great www. I was in shock to see so many other current and former employees with the same opinion of the company as myself. When applying for a job posting some (**) years ago I researched a bit, and Gannett does a good job of marketing themselves to potential applicants as a great company to work for with merit based internal promotions and state of the art training.

    Onced hired, it was evident that they play the bait and switch game. Promises are made, never in writing, and then broken when siting "policy".

    If the economy were better, and decent paying jobs weren't non-existant, I'd be long gone. I, like most here, have a family to support and quitting isn't an option. Guess I can only hope to be part of the next round of layoffs.

  6. Love to join your Facebook group, Jim, but still a bit paranoid. Do you use the Flair application? Do a search for Gannett and you'll find some funny buttons.
