Program note: 'Furloughs' has now been tagged

With today's announcement of unpaid leaves, I've added the subject Furloughs to the list of so-called tags, with 40 initial entries, blue rail, to your right. Related: Layoffs, 242; LayoffStories, 7.

  1. I don't understand why all these furloughs and other measures are being taken NOW. Why weren't they deployed back in fall, before thousands of jobs were lost at Gannett properties? Can someone please explain that to me?

    So many people lost their jobs at Gannett in December. I just don't understand why Gannett went to the nuclear option first, and is now beginning to fight a ground war. Seems this company got it backwards, and by doing so, lost a ton of good folks back in December. Folks we could have really used right about now.

    Would love to see some discussion on this.
