really don't get the timing of why this all had to be now -- why not wait six weeks to lay off the nba guys? it's like if they'd fired mel kiper jr. on monday
― mookieproof, Friday, 28 April 2017 21:58 (seven years ago) link
the share holders arent concerend with that.
― Spottie, Friday, 28 April 2017 22:01 (seven years ago) link

Wow thats pretty wild if even 50% true

It is important to note that the ESPN layoffs were not buyouts. ESPN did not give laid-off employees severance or any other type of lump-sum payment. Instead, ESPN will continue to pay them for the length of their contracts. They just won’t be able to report or otherwise do their jobs. If Marc Stein—or any other laid-off ESPNer—wants another, likely less well-paying, job, they will still have to go back to ESPN and negotiate an exit.
iiiiinteresting
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 3 May 2017 23:24 (seven years ago) link
drag em out as long as possible in hopes they swoop up another job and have to negotiate a buyout for less.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 23:26 (seven years ago) link
if i understand that correctly, it puts ESPN in the win-win situation of either avoiding paying the full value of their contracts or gutting the competition for NBA coverage
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 3 May 2017 23:30 (seven years ago) link
man i just have a really hard time believing woj would can ethan over something he wrote 7 years ago on a blog.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 23:32 (seven years ago) link
NBA reporters are as petty as NBA players maybe. and yeah xp thats it.

watching the baron davis 90 foot shot one right now. fun.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 22:50 (seven years ago) link
my favourite is probably either the 222-0 one, the 1904 marathon or the poker one fyi but they're really all amazing
― imago, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 22:55 (seven years ago) link
bomani and torre should be fun tho it is unlikely i will ever actually see that show
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 16 May 2017 23:00 (seven years ago) link
