  2. Does anyone know if this is the last week before the consolidation takes place in Binghamton, Ithaca and Elmira?

  3. The Elmira newsdesk is done as of this Saturday (4/25). HR screwed up and had everyone done on Friday, until several people pointed out that since the consolidated desk in Binghamton doesn't kick in until Sunday, there wasn't anyone to put out the Sunday paper.

  4. How slick would that have been? - no one to put out a Sunday paper - In the Navy we used to call situations like this one a cluster f___ !

  5. From what I understand, the Poughkeepsie paper has been REALLY struggling to meet deadlines -- they missed something like 10 deadlines in a row. And, of course, since they print in Westchester, it's been a big problem. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for the greedy corporate decision-makers to stop the gutting.
