Dear Partner,

I continue to hear your ideas and comments, and I’m pleased to see so many of you engaged. One common denominator running through your feedback is that you’d like to eliminate the red tape and speed up decision-making. I couldn’t agree more.

To reflect our new culture, we’ve put together a new version of the Tribune Employee Handbook—one that is shorter and more direct than its predecessor.

More specifically, it denotes trust — in your judgment, and in each other. And it reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously, and to have fun. Our company’s new core values are outlined in this handbook, and they define a performance-oriented culture. I encourage you to read them, and consider them in how you work going forward.

You can connect to the new handbook through this link: HANDBOOK

Best regards,

Sam

    It is time to get a new pressroom manager at oly. One that won't create a hostile work environment and a harassing one.Then we need a new plant manager for allowing this to happen,and possably a new VP.
