McClatchy layoffs?

[Fredrick]

If McClatchy merges with Tronc, does that automatically mean McClatchy family makes a ton more money for themselves? More boats, vacation homes? And conversely what does it mean to Joe and Nancy who are wondering if they will be laid off before or shortly after Christmas, rinse repeat the layoff angst for coming years? What does it mean to the biggest suits and the littlest guys/gals? And same questions for Tronc suits and little folks. Thank you in advance.

Michael Ferro fits perfectly in the middle of that diagram.

Somebody at our place, after he breezed in and out on his only visit, said he looked and sounded like the crazy uncle who shows up at your house for Thanksgiving dinner and you lock him in the closet.

John Madigan did, too, back in the day. Total **** in a suit.

The McClatchy family has seen the stock decline by about 99% in 13 years. They have suffered also.

And don't forget Dennis FitzSimons back in the day. He hosted a town hall meeting at the Sun Sentinel, and I thought he bore a remarkable resemblance to Snidely Whiplash.

I never even worked for the L.A. Times, and I'd still leap at the chance to punch this guy in the face for what he did to that paper.
