Jim,
ReplyDeleteThis is all very frustrating. How can we get word to the board that none of us gathered here at your blog would ever accept or expect any special benefits if we were CEO. That one-for-all and all-for-one manner is what makes us all so special. I just don't think they appreciate how different it would be if we were in charge.
Plants across the company are cutting IT help for employees, yet CD will get "home computer assistance"??? At my plant, we're trying to use MacGyver-type tactics to keep computers from falling apart because IT is so backed up.
ReplyDeleteTypical...
Another example of those that make the most and can afford to pay for services pay the least (or nothing at all) for them. If it was me I'd have to either fix it myself or pay someone to do it.
ReplyDeleteOnly three years?!?!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe this. Dubow is shameless. And he appears to be dull-witted too.

I guess he's going to need a photocopier so he can make copies of the columns he will write for USA Today when he retires.
ReplyDeleteAlmost $40 million in severance benefits and he can't even pay for a Geek Squad visit?
ReplyDeleteOh, that's precious.
ReplyDeleteWe're asked to see if we can get a few more copies out of an already overdepleted toner cartridge before we ask for a replacement.
ReplyDeleteGive me a break.
We can barely read the pages that come off our printer since the toner is so low. And we can't even order a new cartridge until the first quarter is over. ...
ReplyDeleteshaking the toner cartridge to get more use out of it is good for your waistline, according to the official Gannett health benefits website.
ReplyDelete11:17 Hilarious! Thanks for the chuckle.
ReplyDeleteI'm a former corporate IT employee. Many years ago, I personally was sent to the house of one of the "top 5" to install games on their computer for their kids.
