Buyout details, severance packages

Would it be some kind of 'Mystery Meat?'

 

Tribune paper: two weeks per year worked, one-year medical.

 

Hey Mizzou,

I think that NYT paper you're talking about had the buyouts done by Gatehouse, hence the unbelievable cheapness.

 

Possibly. 100,000ish circ in Florida?

 

Tribune Co. buyout - Two weeks per year worked capped at one year's salary, one year medical benefits.

 

It's actually a copy paper box. Whatever you can fit in it from your own desk in five minutes or less, you can keep.

 

Of course. Silly me. Why would I think JRC would want to give a fired employee something that he can also use to live in?

 

I think the buyout at our paper was pretty good. From memory, 4 weeks a year to a max of 78 weeks.
Medical benefits not really an issue here.

 

Are you hiring?

 

You keep saying that, and people keep posting the MediaNews package, which is lower: six weeks max, regardless of whether you worked 3 years or 30.

I don't know why you keep harping on Tampa as if it's the be-all, end-all, of shitty deals. I repeat: Nobody's getting fucked any better or worse than anyone else. We all are.

 

No, I posted about the MediaNews package when you made the same claim in the Tampa thread. In response to your post, specifically.

Because you keep claiming, although you'll never come out and say it, that people YOU know are getting fucked worse than others. Dipshit.

I don't want to make this personal, but if you keep ignoring that everybody else is getting fucked, too, I'll keep pointing it out.

A LOT of people are getting fucked right now. We're ALL getting it worse. Tampa's just one of many, unfortunately. That's all I'm saying.
