The employer wants to get some deadwood out the door, but among the people who take the off and go are some of the best veteran employees.<br /><br />Props to Baines. He was an actual investigative reporter. Those are few and far between at any time, and at Pacific Press they're an endangered species.Exurbannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-74867910264875359722013-07-04T21:24:57.449-07:002013-07-04T21:24:57.449-07:00It's easier to get the headlines from a Twitte...It's easier to get the headlines from a Twitter feed and then follow up with one's favourites in the blogosphere like WftVotEotR<br /><br />Newsprint is old print by the time it hits the dropbox and suffers from zero hyperlinks.<br /><br />I have updated my real estate charts with the June data now: http://www.chpc.biz/charts.htmlBrian Ripleyhttp://www.chpc.biznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-72584635247324152532013-07-04T10:33:27.070-07:002013-07-04T10:33:27.070-07:00I welcome Baines into the blogosphere.

For employees in their 60's, that's an offer they likely won't see again before retirement. Simply put, he could get paid for 2 years to work.........or take the buyout and get paid for 2 years to not work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-61491551980733123852013-07-03T23:47:05.587-07:002013-07-03T23:47:05.587-07:00I enjoyed reading Baines, good digging on all the ...I enjoyed reading Baines, good digging on all the shady characters running around out there.
