Friday Wrap-Up: Time Inc., Hatred At Gannett, The Week In Cartoons, More

Re: How To Treat Your Layoff Victims Like Humans: This is definitely in the “what not to do” category.

Our top story this week: Time Inc. filed to lay off 280 people in New York, and some have already been notified. Know of anyone else who’s now seeking a new gig? Let us know. Maybe we can help.

Other notable and popular posts from the week:

A Manager Says ‘You Don’t Really Want An Informational Interview.’ We Say He’s Wrong.

And don’t forget to enter our contest to win a copy of “The Leap.”

The comment of the week regards informational interviews over e-mail.

“Taylor M” wrote:

I don’t know about the people who contacted that manager, but if I contacted someone for an informational interview, and they bumped me down to email because they were “too busy,” I wouldn’t bother contacting that manager either. I’d take my time to find someone who showed some interest. I’d also be a little turned off from their company.

We couldn’t agree more, but give us your perspective.
