No, you won't be considered outsourced because your position is being eliminated and being sent to a Gannett site. Outsourcing is when it is going out of the country to foreign workers. Unfortunately, the end result is the same, you still lose your job to workers that they pay a lot less (in some cases, not mine, I can guarantee it) than what you make. It doesn't matter quality, quantity, or anything else. The bottom line is Martore needs her salary increase of $250k a year plus all the freaking perks so they will rip your salary away from you to come up with the money somewhere, along with Dickey Lickey's salary and bonuses and on and on. In the meantime, those left on their Titanic's and their sister ships will have to work in the dark, water leaking on their heads, filthy conditions, no new equipment, no-one to work on anything if it breaks, skeleton staffs, while the BIG WHIGS jet off for SPRING BREAK!! While you are eating ramen noodles on your furloughs, they will be in Mexico or the current IT place to be on their furloughs, laughing about how much money they saved by getting rid of all the useless slackers who ACTUALLY WORKED TO MAKE GANNETT A NEWSPAPER PUBLISHING COMPANY.Now you notice the news rooms aren't called news rooms? Just information centers, cause they steal information from some other poor slob slaving away and slap it into the paper.
