Not in the New York Times, a story about... the New York Times
Quote:
When a failed CEO receives a $15 million golden parachute at the exact moment when Times foreign correspondents who put their lives on the line covering war are having their pensions frozen, isn’t it worthy of comment? And what of the moral implications of a company that extracts ever more concessions from its unions while holding executives to no apparent standard?

But we have to read it in Forbes: The New York Times Goes All In With The "1 Percenters" - Forbes
Quote:
New York Times employees plan an “urgent” Jan. 9 meeting to discuss their next move because its staff are incensed by the $15 million failure bonus given to outgoing CEO Janet Robinson. Robinson, whose disastrous tenure coincided with a drop in the parent company’s stock price from $40 to less than $8 in seven years, is getting $4.5 million to serve as a “consultant” this year (so the company can avail itself of 12 more months of that storied leadership).
Plus she gets, ahead of schedule, immediate access to a $10.9 million pension (though she is only 61). Her sudden resignation/ouster/defenestration, announced last month, came just three months after Forbes’ Jeff Bercovici said she conducted “what felt rather like a victory lap” to boast of her digital strategy. Third-quarter ad revenue sagged by 8.8 percent.
Meanwhile, according to the president of the Newspaper Guild, the paper is hectoring the workers with demands for concessions. These include pension freezes, savings in the health plan and curtailing bonuses for working late nights or rearranging schedules to deal with unexpected news events. All this would save the company about $9 million this year, or roughly two-thirds of the amount it is paying to a single non-employee: Janet Robinson.

Re: Not in the New York Times, a story about... the New York Times
On a related note - a few months ago, the NY Times tried to impose its on-again, off-again, on-again firewall.
It supposedly limited you to 20 articles per month, and then would show you an annoying "register" dialog.
I circumvented that by having Firefox, IE, and Safari all installed. Since the NYT validation process doesn't compare cookies across browsers, I got 60 articles per month.
Now it appears they have dropped the firewall again. I haven't seen a "register" dialog in weeks.

Not to mention you can simply delete their cookies without going through the trouble of using a different browser.
Or use a different computer, or a phone or a tablet...

Yeah, I just clear my nyt cookies every couple of days and have had no problems reading an unlimited amount of content. Well, except on my phone because I can't remember how to clear cookies on it.
You can also do private browsing or something on firefox and avoid the cookies issue, but I am too lazy to click over to that.

I set my Firefox to always run in private mode.
