A blog for The People of the Dallas Morning News to share information about a career-altering event that they had no control to stop.
Management wants to trim roughly 20-30 jobs through attrition by next June. What are the chances?
Why are we here?
Because it is honorable to recognize the individuals who toiled in the fields, doing their part to make the Dallas Morning News as good a product as it could be. But due to financial forces beyond their control, they were made a "voluntary severance offer." Had that been in copy, an editor would have changed that to read "buyout."

It's funny because it's true. And depressingly sad.
Does the next panel show a security guard with his chew toy and bowl in a cardboard box waiting for him?
Incidentally, could we take down the dumb "DMN Star" posters and crap around the building about getting fit? We aren't people or stars to you, we're numbers and overhead. You should be able to use that money more wisely, like for a catered meeting or something.
And while we're at it, let's sell those ridiculous monitors that are supposed to remind us that we have some web sites, on the occasion that they actually work properly (the monitors, not the sites).
Hey Jim: Garage sale.
OMG don't get me started on those idiotic monitors.
