CNHI at it again

About to be announced today ...5 more furlough days in third quarter.

 

I will not say another word.

 

How have fellow CNHIers been doing as far as collecting unemployment benefits?

 

5 in a quarter? 20 a year? good grief.

 

sadly, not uncommon. pretty sure media general did 20 days last year.

 

I believe Gannet did 21 last year.

 

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. This company is a mess.

 

So what happens at a one-man CNHI shop? No sports for a week?

 

Our shop doesn't have the guts to do furloughs because they know the product wouldn't get out. Place is stretched too thin. How can any J-school be open nowadays? If my kids wanted to major in journalism I would tell them they are throwing their lives away and I am sorry but I can't support you with a penny on that front. Journalism is dead as a paying profession. It'll survive on some front with dirt-cheap labor and unpaid interns.

 

I apologize for breaking my self-proclaimed silence: We CNHIers will have done 21 days in four quarters. Lest we forget, the Christmas Bone Us day we were all forced to swallow with almost zero notice right before Christmas.

Back to my dark, quiet corner...

 

Damn, these boys be triflin' with their workers' lives.

 

CNHI is one mean motherfucking greedmonger, for sure.
