Sacrifices

By: Jessica Hamell

If you want to keep your reporting job you might need to make a few sacrifices. The Palm Beach Post has decided to not have a holiday party and to not give all its employees raises this year. If you make less than $65,000 you get a 2 percent raise. If you make more than that you are just
out of luck.

All of the company executives now have frozen salaries. There are 150 employees who will not be getting raises this year. This is all taking place because the downward spiral our economy is in and because newspaper revenues are going down also.

I think that this is a good choice. People need to make sacrifices in order to keep some from losing their job. It will help the company in the long run.
