Per curiousinatlanta: AJC employees got their buyout offer Wednesday [July 17]. They are eliminating 85 jobs, of which 27 are now vacant. So 58 filled positions must go, 290 people got the offer. Terms are similar to the Palm Beach Post deal. We must decide by July 31 and go by Aug. 30. Layoffs occur if they don’t hit the 58.

I find it amusing that the Google ad that popped up next to this posting was for cutting off 9 lbs of stomach fat every 11 days.
I guess layoffs have that effect.

That’s better than the Google ad I see…

Matt,
I’d be really worried. Google knows all.
