Comment away

A few items:

(1) To the list below, please add Steve Daily, night city/state editor and former business editor, and Cecilia James, in the library. To the best of my knowledge, Cecilia was one of the three "voluntary layoffs." (What an Orwellian phrase...)

(2) Please contact me if any of the information here is incorrect, names misspelled, etc. With so little information flowing out, wires get crossed.

(3) My apologies - I had neglected to fix the settings on comments. Anonymous posts are now allowed. But it's still good practice to post from a non-work computer if you don't want your name out there.

(4) It will be hard for people going ahead, as David acknowledged in the meeting today. We'll have new assignments, new hours, new jobs. But whatever minor quibbles we have to deal with at work pale in comparison to the people who now have to deal with getting a new job, and in some cases starting a new life.

(5) If you're on this list and you don't want your name out there, for whatever reason, e-mail me and I'll take it down. Not trying to infringe on privacy, just share support.
