Gray: no furloughs planned

[lovinlife101]

12’s parent company, Gray, says despite the downturn in advertising revenue that it’s not planning on any furloughs.. Tegna says it is requiring most of its workers to take a week off unpaid before June.

Let’s see which direction Sinclair (25-66) and Meredith (5) go...

Good for Gray to taking a principled stand that recognizes audiences will turn to TV news when there’s calm coverage of a significant story.

No furlough, but a forced unpaid week off? That’s a furlough.

The other companies haven’t announced any pay cuts or forced, unpaid time off. Why are you praising Gray?

Lovin: Gray says no layoffs or furloughs.

No such guarantee yet from Sinclair.

If they’re going to ask for loyalty from their employees, I think it’s fair to praise companies that are going to bat for workers who are covering this pandemic. Hence why I’m applauding Gray for its stance.

Gray has “guaranteed” a forced week off with no pay. That’s a furlough. You praise the company.

The other companies pay their employees as usual, announce no forced unpaid time off and you bash them.

So gay.

Herm is 100% correct, and Sinklair is 100% wrong.

Furlough:

a temporary leave from work that is not paid and is often for a set period of time. One possible way to avoid layoffs is through furloughs—making workers take an unpaid leave of absence …

Corporation: “We are forcing all employees to take one unpaid week off.”

Sinklair: “Well, at least there are no furloughs!”

Corporation: “We are announcing a 25% reduction in pay.”

Sinklair: “Well, at least there are no pay cuts!”

Lovin: still not letting facts get in the way of trolling. Got it.

Beer: glad to help. I’m here for you, buddy. Thoughts and prayers.

Here are the facts.

1. You reported Gray is not forcing any furloughs.

2. Gray is forcing furloughs.

I’ll take my apology in the form of non-sequential $50 bills...

So gay.
