Ohh...this wonderfully crappy day just got BETTER!
My company has announced MORE layoffs. Remember they just announced wage freezes? And in July they laid off 2% of our staff. "Voluntary separation" they call it. The newsroom wasn't eligible for the last round of "voluntary separations," but I would have taken it if offered.
Voluntary separation...it sounds like a disease, doesn't it? What a wonderfully politically correct way to say "YOU'RE FIRED!"
I'm applying for it.

I salute you. You've put up with more shit, and for a lot longer, than I ever would. We're not QUITE at that point at my paper, but we did have our travel and training budget eliminated ... and we WERE asked to start making double-sided copies from now on.
But good news just today: We gave our two-year notice to the Associated Press. We're dumping their sorry, lazy, worthless asses. AP is easily the worst value for the diminishing dollar in any modern newsroom budget.
I hope you get an awesome package.
