What the fuck? 10 comments and wiredhub shuts (shits?) down?

Anyway... In response to Dix's last post on the previous topic...

The Place?

Famous actors with the name of the company in their names...

___ Marvin. ___ Merriweather. Hyapatia ___.

As for the editorial?

Yup. Several. Three middle management editors.

Or is that more like "a few?".

Couple = 2 few= 3?

I dunno anyway.

Cleaned my shit out tonight and don't plan on going back for anything less than 8 ounces of premium cut brazillian coca.

No, I close out the comments on the 1st and 15th of each month to keep out the spammer dicks.

So, did security wait for you as you got your stuff? Or did they let you leave with at least a little dignity?

No security.

But.

No dignity.

Though they canned all the security guards.

My boss, a man who has been like a father to me for the last nine years, had to fire me and then escort me out of the building.

I went back last night to clean everything out.

All that time at work and it boiled down to 1 large banker box and one smaller one. Plus my plants.

And the whole time, my (now) former boss had to look over his shoulder because the pub and our own version of Catbert were still in the office. I appreciated him doing that for me, but it still made me feel like a criminal.

And corporate folks freaked out when they found out that I had been canned because no one from our HR dept informed them that a systems guy of some import was being nuked.

All 400+ people in the building had to change their passwords. Every account that I had on every machine got nuked.

Kind of depressing.

That had to be. I don't know what to say.

How's the wife holding up?

'nother thing for you, Wad Boy: Newsdesigner.com is reporting that six -- count'em, a WHOLE SIX -- people got shitcanned from there and that it had NOTHING -- NOTHING, I SAY! -- to do with the Pulitzer purchase.

Six?

Um. Yeah. In one department maybe.

Lessee.... My former department

Computer Wonk
Electrician Wonk
Maintenance Wonk
Mailroom Wonk
(5) Security Wonks

Newsroom?

Op/Ed Wonk
Night Editor Wonk
Design Wonk
Designer Wonk
Photo Wonk

Plus let's not mention the three reporters that have left one desk alone. Though the editor in charge of that desk is a sweetie with great hair and excellent shoes.

As for ads?

Artist Manager Wonk
Admin Assistant Wonk
Inside Sales Manager Wonk

Hell. In that group alone there's over 40 years of experience gone.

I'm not saying anything negative or slanderous.. I thinks.

Either way. More than six got whacked. Alot more.

Newsdesigner.com. Reporting the news the way we want or hear it.

Confirmation? Living it.

Besides the seven that got whacked at the CA site.

And I don't really think that the purchase had much to do with it. This is a whole 'nother level of fuckitude. Lower level than a 16 site buyout. This is fucked at the local level. Also, this doesn't take into account the demotions and "realignment" or responsibilities that occurred after the bloodletting.

But. The stock is up.

Well, what do you care? You don't work for it anymore.

Actually, the story was about only editorial that got canned, and I, in my outrage over the situation, breezed over that point. So no, Newsdesigner was right in what they reported. My bad.
