You can't make this shit up... So on Friday a staff meeting is held at a major trade publication to assure employees that things are looking up—hurrah!—um, following the layoff of more than 15 full-timers in the previous three months. Then patsy publisher "A" presents awards to a number of the team. Included are kudos for editor "C" for her leadership skills. "C" is the "team member" that axed 10 employees a month ago, thanks to the loss of more than $2 million in revenues in 2009 for the publication she helms.
Isn't that sort of like saying, "Good going, kid!" to the 8-year-old who boils rabbits and tortures frogs? Hey, thanks for letting me off the Titanic!
