Any company, not just a newspaper company, that only offers one week paid after one year, and never offers more than two weeks paid, should not be surprised if it does not necessarily generate long-term staff loyalty.
Of course, I am glad to have landed on my feet from my previous newspaper company which, less than five months after replacing me (and having been "pushing" me before that) is now looking for the replacement for my replacement.
Folks, in any industry, high turnover isn't good.
I am also grateful for what I'll be learning on the publisher side of stick. I hope it includes skills that, if necessary, will transition outside the newspaper industry.
Oh, and I forgot ... telling a pregnant employee she is eligible for up to 6 weeks unpaid leave. The FMLA says 12 weeks. Now, technically, this employee has been here less than a year and is ineligible for FMLA, but .. if she had been here a year? Would be the same, I'm sure.
