Shot to the Heart

From Brian Moritz at Scholars & Rogues:

But things kept getting worse. The layoffs started, followed by the furloughs. Wondering every six months if you were still going to have a job was bad enough. Wondering every six months if you were still going to have a job while trying to figure out how to make ends meet when you lose a week of pay each

Sadly, that sounds about right. I know so many people who have been at my paper (sales people, not reporters) for decades who are so fed up with all the cut backs that they're all looking for new jobs. Not to mention that the paper itself keeps getting smaller and smaller. They're cutting content along with everything else.

Thank goodness I'm on the digital side of the biz because I'm not part of the Union so the pay cuts and furloughs don't apply to me. I think I have the most secure job in that company.
