Roughly 120 Hearst staffers opt for buyouts, sources say
NY Post
The voluntary buyout offers Hearst Magazines extended to 600 employees in its sales, marketing and ad side has resulted in close to 120 staffers raising their hands, sources tell Media Ink.
That amounts to over 5 percent of the division’s 2,200 person workforce in a magazine group that oversees glossies like Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and the digital ad agency iCrossing. (Hearst Magazines also includes the Des Moines, Iowa-based distribution company CDS, but none of its 1,100 employees were eligible for the buyouts.)More Related News
“The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” is guaranteed right at the top of the First Amendment, but the folks in charge of The Washington Post see such action as profoundly sinister if the “wrong” people do it, or perhaps the paper’s problem is with association and communication for the wrong causes.
