The New York Times reported on its Web site today that Gannett, the parent company of USA Today, will be sending thousands of its employees home for a week without pay. This decision, coming as it does amidst an industry-wide economic shake-up, is part of the company's strategy to cut costs without cutting staff. Even Craig A. Dubow, the chairman, president and chief executive of the company is not exempt.
I almost applied to one of the Gannett papers, but didn't because I would have had no way to get to or from work. Although it seems that "last hired, first fired" will be inapplicable in this situation (so far), perhaps for me it's all for the best in terms of my personal development.
You know, the whole building confidence, taking initiative, truly knowing one's capabilities and talents thing?
Yeah, that.
