The grapevine at the newspaper is one way employees are kept up to date on happings at the newspaper, especially the information that affects everyone. The grapevine has told me our 2% raise will be applied on Sunday March 26th, 2006 to most employees salary. I say most employees, because anyone caught breaking the safety rules last year will not be given a raise.
Have also heard we do not need two vice-presidents of production, or three plant managers, with only three production facilities in operations. This grapevine is about seventy-five percent correct, at the Los Angeles Times.
The grapevine also told me the budget for the pressroom is currently in the works, and will be increased to get the presses back in running order, it's about time!
As our March 14th dinner nears, I have forty-five confirmed guests attending, Ken Reich said he will be there, as well as Russ Newton, Mike Morrison, and George Zambrano. Russ Newton is the new vice-president of production, George Zambrano was one of our former plant managers, and Mike Morrison was our pressroom superintendant. Looks like we will need the larger room, as ten or more never RSVP, they just show up. After speaking with Jill from Taix Restaurant, she's moving us to the larger room.
Well, I have to get the children off to school, more news coming later....
Stay dry and positive,
Eddie
