She remained a good person. Once in management she delegated everything, didn't learn the new system, could never answer a question directly (too busy playing CYA). So she became unimportant. Plus, one of the remaining managing editors, a pal of the editor, didn't like her. She was the only copydesk loss, which means the copydesk really wasn't hit at all.<BR/>There were too many good sports people and photographers given the pink slip. What's worse, those laid off Wednesday had a list of the layoff-ees, so word trickled out as to who was being laid off. so management had to act quick. Really bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-34442720549261574562009-03-06T10:50:00.000-08:002009-03-06T10:50:00.000-08:00My husband worked for her at another newspaper and...My husband worked for her at another newspaper and always had great admiration for her.
