Media General, parent company of the Winston-Salem Journal, announced today that they're requiring their employees to take ten days of unpaid leave. Employees have to take four days by the end of March and three days each in the two subsequent fiscal quarters. I guess if you look at the glass as half full at least these folks are keeping their jobs. For now.
Any suggestions for what these folks should do with their involuntary, unpaid "vacation"? BTW, I've used quotes around the word vacation ever since my wife returned to work from maternity leave and received a heap of abuse from her boss who said she should be well rested from her "vacation". In all seriousness I have some friends that work at the Journal and this stinks for them, but I am glad to know that they still have their jobs.
