In other words, if 170 people left, their would be 170 positions that would not be filled. I believed they called it “right sizing”.<BR/><BR/>Tribune on the other hand appears to want to reduce the payroll by “replacing” positions vacated by their version of a buyout/layoff with a lesser paid person.Old OChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638120715430120570noreply@blogger.com
