  4. A furloughing we will go.

    Wonder what Craig means by "higher salaried" employees. Hopefully, he's talking about those who make more than $80k or $90k.

  8. Hey NJR, your base may be 89K but those bonuses put you over the edge. Besides, you can use 2weeks off and the start your regular vacation. Hell, we may not see you till next year!!!

  9. Since I have been ditched by Gannett and still remain a stockholder (not quit sure how this occurred) I have had a chance to do what I hae wanted to do for over twenty years, VOTE NO on the selection of the Ganneet Board of Directors. This indicates disapproval of their AIG-stype salary and bonuses. If you've been fired and received the prxy notice, vote the way you feel. There is nothing they can do to us now.

  10. I voted that way and I'm a current employee. Go ahead, let them hold it against me. It's my vote, my opinion and if they didn't want my say they shouldn't have allowed me to say it.

  11. Many people continue to question why Gannett keeps around retail ad sales reps who are not making their objectives by such a large margin, especially some who've been around for years and have very high base salaries but next to nothing to bring in enough to cover those ridiculous salaries? Why why why?

  12. To Everyone on this blog from NJ:

    Don't neglect to go to the regular blog and see what is transpiring.

    In so many ways, we could be saying: "WE TOLD YOU SO"!!!

    While Jim says he loves us, being stuck in this part of the blog still makes us one step above the crap pile of Corporate!

  13. Is top of scale pay for reporters the same at all Gannett NJ papers? If not, I would guess APP reporters at top of scale earn more than any other GNJ papers -- I am just guessing though. APP top of scale is north of $70K? How about HNT and CN?

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones.
