New York Times plans to cut hundreds of jobs later this year
2016-04-24
[NYPost] The New York Times Co. is preparing to lay off a few hundred staffers in the second half of the year, The Post has learned.

Chairman and Publisher Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger Jr.'s management team has been talking with some of the Times' unions to come to a deal to provide reduced severance to those affected, sources told The Post.
And if they don't reach an agreement, Pinchy will just fire them...
"There's a goal of a couple of hundred people," said a source familiar with talks. "They don't want to pay out big packages, and they're having negotiations with the unions."

#5  Marty: The last time Tap toured America, they where, uh, booked into 10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues, and it seems that now, on their current tour they're being booked into 1,200 seat arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and uh I was just wondering, does this mean uh...the popularity of the group is waning?
Ian: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the.. uh.. their appeal is becoming more selective.

#4  Catering to the low information individual has its drawbacks.

#3  The last time the NYT got pay concessions from a union under their purview, Pinchy & Janet Robinson (then CEO) rewarded themselves with huge pay increases. I'm expecting a similar backstabbing this time around.

#2  Poor Pinch. Such decisions are weighty.
His car splashes past a gray lady.
The corner, the whoring,
The stories so boring...
Pretending it's still 1980.

#1  When the news is made and full of lies, rather than true investigative journalism, you don't need that many people...
