Staff was thinking it would come last Thursday or Friday, but got word from management that no announcement until at least this week. The mystery is the no, of layoffs, not that an announcement will come. The half-the-staff (newsroom) reduction, my sources tell me, is high, though staffers expect the cuts to be much more severe than the last time around, when there were fewer than 10? layoffs in the newsroom, though there also were buyouts that time apparently and this time buyouts are apparently not part of the equation. Whatever is announced will be devastating, especially to those who lose their jobs. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
