Hope that means the "re-design" is gone, too, with its waste-of-space front page.

Nobody cares. Its going to be Fort Worth Morning News soon.

Can't wait for the Jim Witt spin control on how some stupid F----N focus group loved the new redesign and he is sure you will to.

"we have repacked the same great news (off the AP wire) from our great staff (laid off) to bring you this great paper, which will cost you more, and we give you less"

-- Jim Witt
Executive Editor & VP
Soon to be former.....

Today's FWST should take the slogan from the old Wendy's commercial:

Where's the paper?

Week 8, Jim "Oops" resignation watch. Do the honorable thing, Elvis. Resign. Then you might have some time to actually read the paper that you have decimated, but it will only take 2 minutes.

So "Go" will have Life and Arts? What in the hell. Let's put Obits i nthere too. How can we launch this DFW.com thing anyway. Heard from a Rep the other day that he is not sure what he is supposed to be selling. Great plan. If we are confused, what are our accounts to think?

Those of us who know Albert can tell you that these decisions were made for him. He has always done a good job protecting his own people, better than most over the years. I think they would agree too. But everyone wants to blame someone now.

The cuts in every department are just too deep this time, just too damn deep really. We probably won't ever recover from this piss poor strategy so do what you have got to do and get a new job man.

Ain't no raises, ain't no future, ain't no way to make a livin. So just ease on down the road brother and trouble yourself no more.

Remember, on top of the salary cuts (5%), we also have taken a cut (3%) with no 401K contributions, a week without pay later this year and now we pay for parking.

Dam we miss Daniel - we have no one telling us anything in maintenance. Jessie comes in when he gets ready and he goes home whenever-where is the supervision.
I never thought I would say -bring back J.R.- wE got rid of some wokers and we kept some big losers.

What did you expect dude.......Jessie had a lap-band surgery instead of brain surgery- if he lose weight. He might look like robert johnson wife - a real dog.

T.C. is the biggest problem here guys- he treats people bad and he thinks because he is gay he can do whatever. He wants every swinging you no what.

You think this is bad....wait until they cut Accounting by 1/3 or so outsurcing to India in June and neither sales nor customers can get a straight answer (billin, credit, cash or accounting) and Corp cant get a report to see the forest for the trees...Won't matter cause no one will know what is up (or down) on the money end and wont be able to understand the answer if they do get one!
