NPR plans to offer buyouts to 300 employees, mostly from their newsgathering desks, but 300 staffers will still remain.
The far-left media continues to shrink with the news that the former welfare queens at NPR are slashing jobs now because they are no longer receiving corporate welfare .
You’d require a heart of stone not to love it when people who hate you lose access to the forum that spreads all that hate. NPR is “offering buyouts to approximately 300 employees, mostly within newsgathering desks in the newsroom. Staff of NPR’s news programs, including hosts, are not eligible,” Sadly, that doesn’t mean 300 NPR staffers will be laid off. It only means 300 staffers will be offered the buyouts.
We’re supposed to feel sorry for people offered buyouts, even though Normal People who struggle in the Real World never receive buyouts. Have you ever received a buyout or severance? I haven’t. Fired, yes.
Laid off, yes. A sweet-ass buyout, nevah. NPR says “they will accept up to 30 buyouts, but more targeted layoffs would ensue if an insufficient number of employees take voluntary buyouts by next Tuesday, May 26. ”of its budget came from all that taxpayer-funded welfare?
If it was only one percent, why does it look like around ten percent of the staff is getting the axe? NPR President and CEO Katherine Maher says the network has to fill a gap of $8 million in its $300-million annual budget because of the elimination of federal subsidies for its member stations, which pay NPR to air programs such as.
In a memo to staff, she said the network expects to earn $15 million less in station fees this year and is anticipating a drop in corporate sponsorship revenue.the Welfare Train last year, the NPR umbrella corporation, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting , received $535 million in taxpayer funds per year. Those NPR affiliates then received anywhere from ten to 13 percent of their budgets from the CPB taxpayer-subsidized slush fund.
And it just so happens that affiliate fees made up about ten percent of NPR’s annual budget.
