I was the one designer laid off from the marketing department, that was still hiring people. Go figure. I guess I wasn't important to mention. I was there for almost 10 years.

I'm so sorry Erica. These layoffs are just getting ridiculous. How are we suppose to maintain the level of coverage our readers expect if management continues to shrink editorial staff. If too many employees are laid off, we won't be able to provide readers a complete report of their local news and they will stop buying our product. Then profits will really get bad. It's a catch-22 and we need a better solution. Unfortunately, nobody has been able to figure it out what that solution is yet. Good luck to those employees that were laid off. Just saw this today.

Sorry to hear about another round of cuts. Not good. Hope things get better there (and everywhere) soon. Somehow didn’t see this blog entry until now. Sorry to hear about another round of cuts.
