Facing another furlough, Laura Cochran of Gannett Digital joined co-workers last week on free text-message broadcaster Twitter, where they launched Furlough House Swap for employees who aren't working or earning to vacation on the cheap, the Chicago Tribune says today.
Hmmmmm Gannett Digital making lemons out of lemonade, looking for solutions. Imagine that. By reading this blog you'd think Digital is the devil. Glad to see you chiming and supporting an idea when it suits your needs Jimbo.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Laura for doing something instead of talking about it or in the case of this blog ...whining, bitching, and moaning.
It's a cute idea. At least they didn't have to study it for months in committee, write up a proposal, submit it for approval, have to go back and make changes, resubmit, create the site, test it for months, then launch it -- after all the furloughs are over.
ReplyDeleteCheck out http://furloughhouseswap.com/ for information about the house swap. The site should be up soon.
ReplyDeleteDigital is a pretty cool group of people. Very creative!!
