66 Employees let go at the Los Angeles Times

The blood letting has not slowed at the newspaper as the body count has reached sixty-six, with additional employees to be let go until we reach the end of the third quarter or September 30^th.

The majority of the affected employees will receive two weeks pay for the 1^st year of service, and one additional week of severance for all additional years of service. Can someone tell me what the limit is for severance, fifty-two weeks, twenty-five weeks?

Here’s the breakdown of layoffs at the Los Angeles Times.

Editorial = 16

Advertising = 2

Circulation = 14

LAT Magazine = 1

Marketing = 2

Pressroom = 10
