Oregon Media Insiders

Re: The list of departures. That is a very sad list of people who have gone. They ARE what made the paper what it was. I wonder how long until we can add Sandra Rowe (The Editor)to that list? Apparently, management is trying to rid the paper of the older and costlier employees. I have heard that the same thing has occurred in the advertising departments. Like so many companies today, management prefers to get the job done with YOUNGER, cheaper and usually part-time status employees. Of coarse management always exempt themselves from any decrease in their salaries, or benefits packages. This scenario seems to be the preferred way of doing business in the corporate world of 2008. If the infrastructure is negatively compromised, there will be a steady decline in the quality of the product being produced. And that may explain why there were so many negative comments about the content of the paper on this blog.
