The publisher specializes in giving heart attacks and nervous breakdowns with her incessant terror tactics. After reading some of these stories, one must question why anyone would want to work for Gannett.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-73778480949795827812008-05-20T21:40:00.000-04:002008-05-20T21:40:00.000-04:00"Low-level managers" is not really correct, at lea..."Low-level managers" is not really correct, at least not in the newsroom.

Also, have staffing levels in Phoenix been declining for a while now (jobs left unfilled, department consolidation, etc) or are they still fairly well-staffed?
