  1. Do they sent all Gannett editors to the same bad writing school. Check out this link. It's worse than the Wausau one yesterday. It's almost breathless. Wonder what's next. A sleepover?

  2. A couple of points to make-

    1. The My Boss network is now defunct. Stop paying attention to the fake posts.

    2. There is something happening soon. But not Thursday. It's layoffs, and this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Stop with the cloak and dagger BS posts already.

  4. I am retiring soon, but will have some explosive documents I will be sending to Jim as a parting gift from me and the team!

    I will thank my sources in a separate post, close to my last day.

    Your grammar, however, is not.

    Rimshot!

  14. What is up with the National Sales team? Colleen Brewer left a few weeks ago to become VP of Sales with Cox for their Austin, TX paper and now two more people are jumping ship to follow her to the Lone Star state. How many more people can they afford to lose?

  15. Re:3:35. Who followed Colleen to Austin?

  16. Glad I escaped the madness, but my heart goes out to all in Gannett-land.

  20. I am just so excited about "the big news". It's just like Christmas- I wish it was thursday already! It MUST be something good, right? I mean if so many important people have been working four hours a day at least three days a week for almost a month on this- It must be something that will benefit everybody in a positive way.

  21. It's the end of the 3rd quarter. Of course an announcement should be expected. Like furloughs, layoffs, armageddon...

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hey, speaking of the end of 3rd quarter, I'm sending Jim a few bucks. You should too.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Don't tell us what we should do, 10:36. If you want to waste your money, that's your problem.

  24. Oh bother, big wigs coming to visit next week. What a waste of time, but the building is being cleaned up nicely.

  25. The only thing that would make sense at usa today, based on prior posts, is some pruning of management positions. Either give them some real work, such as helping overworked assignment editors, or convert them to content producers. Please!

    ReplyDelete
  26. That would make way too much sense,9:44. Never happen.
