The current chatter is the old chatter. Nothing new about timing. I wish I had something to tell you. I wish the bosses saw fit to share enough information to let us plan our lives better. Somebody thinks this is a smart way to do this. Somebody thought CueCat was smart.
To offer a voice and a forum and a source of information during layoffs and now buyouts at the Dallas Morning News.
Here is what we lost in September '11:
Copy Editor I -- 3 Copy Editor II --5 Copy Editor III -- 5 Deputy Assistant Editor -- 5 Assistant News Editor -- 1 Office manager -- 1 Senior Editor -- 1 Design Editor -- 1 Photo Tech -- 1 Presentation Editor-- 1 Content Coordinator -- 2 Layout Editor -- 1 Bureau Chief -- 1 Special Writer -- 1 Reporter I -- 4 Reporter III -- 1 Reporter III-Business -- 1 Critic -- 1 Photographer III -- 2
Whenever this blog is active, the rules will not change: Personal attacks will not be posted or tolerated. Nobody's name will be listed as laid off without that person's permission. Anyone who wants to pass along information -- or plausible rumors -- please e-mail me at DMNcuts (at) gmail.com. Farewell messages ditto.
If anyone asks you if you run this blog, please answer "I am Spartacus" and ask why they want to know. For obvious reasons, anonymity is necessary.
