Of course you're not required to reapply. When your current job evaporates, you're entirely welcome to leave.

ReplyDeleteAnd John may not have gotten the call yet. And be told "Hay we need more money for some VP to retire, MORE FURLOUGHs"
ReplyDeleteThis passage in the story was most interesting:
ReplyDeleteZidich said he didn’t know whether other Gannett units were having employees reapply for jobs. “I have no idea,” he said.
Fort Collins, where exempt editors have been asked to reapply for their jobs, reports to Zidich. Anyone who's been around Gannett 2 minutes knows that such a step could never occur without the knowledge and approval of the regional president.
So he's either criminally clueless (very unlikely), was misquoted (also very unlikely) or lying. I don't see another option.
Boy did Zidich stick his foot in his mouth again or what? "I have no idea" Thats the first thing he has got right in awhile but not on the point in his responce.
ReplyDeleteIf only we could believe him. After the whole Fiesta Bowl debacle he's got zero credibility, both in the building and in the community. And the line about not knowing what other Gannett papers are doing? He's either completely clueless or lying. Or both.
ReplyDeleteI like this part of the Business Journal's story:
ReplyDeleteThe Gannett Blog, which for years has covered the media company’s inner workings, executive pay, furloughs and layoffs, has reported of the practice of having workers reapply for positions at some newspapers.
Zidich said he doesn’t read that company blog.
Jim got called out at Romenesko for reporting this falsehood. Nice going, Jim!
ReplyDelete7:24 "Falsehood," I believe, is a reference to the truthiness of Zidich's statement to the Business Journal.
ReplyDeleteThis passage in the story was most interesting:
ReplyDeleteZidich said the spear and pelt crowd would have to wait and see if it would have to reapply.
if he wants to lie like that, he has a future as an executive editor.
ReplyDeleteOf course, he'll have to re-apply for the job!
What's with the adult fim star 'Stache?
ReplyDeleteWhy anyone would want to keep this Fiesta Bowl tool around speaks volumes about the company he works for.
ReplyDeleteHe and Washburn are certainly stars at Gannett. proven leaders who give us hometown advantage.
Hopefully VP/ND of KPNX Mark Casey will have to reapply for his job, he's been failing at it for years. He's more qualified to sit in the booth in the parking garage than he is running a newsroom err Information Center! Zidich needs to go too, none of these managers has a clue.
