ReplyDeleteNot to spread more bad news, but there are rumblings of yet another shakeup at usa today. Staffers being reassigned to the verticals combined with fresh layoffs. Not hearing anything about/furloughs, though.

ReplyDelete9-10 were laid off from The Coloradoan? Yet, didn't they just have some new hires?
ReplyDeleteAsheville lost 12 jobs today, not 9. The Asheville Citizen-Times is not worth reading anymore - basically just a mock-up of an actual newspaper.
ReplyDeleteThey had a meeting today in Cincinnati announcing they are laying off 8 out of 10 retail ARS's.
ReplyDeleteWhat is an ARS?
ReplyDeleteAccount Relationship Specialist. They are like inside sales reps, maining working with existing accounts.
ReplyDeleteLafayette In Journal and Courier hasn't heard of any layoffs as of yet. However, I have heard talk of "lists" for possible riffs. Also, there has been talk of changing the lobby hours to 8:30-4:30 and possible 5% pay cuts. Anyone know of anything going on in Lafayette?
