San Francisco Chronicle Cuts Anniversary Gifts
To cut costs, the SF Chronicle has nixed its “Service Awards Program,” in which employees who have worked for the paper five, 10 and 20 years received a pen, gym bag and leather picture frame, respectively.
A memo explaining the change states “This is being done as a cost-cutting measure during difficult economic times and in no way reflects a diminished appreciation of your contributions to the organization.”
Instead, presumably, the Chron will honor milestones of service the way the rest of the nation’s papers now do: With severance packages.
