North County Times, a Northern San Diego newspaper, has printed pink slips for 34 employees in their announced layoff. 25 of these will come from their newsroom. This comes after 10 employees were delivered their walking papers in September.
We have pontificated on newspapers and advertisements before, so allow us to bring up a different point again. Notice that this was round 2 of layoffs. Many companies learn that when doing a layoff they should do it deeply, so they only have to do it once. However, these days many companies are trying to reduce as little as possible in order to minimize the pains on their employees and wind up having to cut again as things worsen. This can hurt morale and productivity more than the single deep cut purge will do.
