Clearing out at the Modesto Bee

Take a look around--there are more empty offices and cubes than full ones. You could shoot a cannon through the hallways and hit nothing (and no one).

That was round one on bloody Monday. Well we all know what happened next, and then, and then, and then.

...or round 2 if you count the first round of voluntary buyouts two months before that. But there have been so many at Mod Bee it's almost hard to keep track.

Your right it was round 2. Yes it is hard to keep track. I heard to watch around the middle of June for more. Any truth to that rumor? Will the Modesto Bee become just a Sacramento Bee bureau? Stay tuned boys and girls for the next installment of "As the Bee Turns".

No, it was Round 1 of the "involuntary transtions." There have only been 4 "involuntary transitions" to date. The first group of people to leave were thru attrition or buyouts.

It was about time they got rid of that dead weight. It took long enough.
