Gannett's layoffs are now an ad?

From the kick a company when they are down file, I just noticed that one of the ads on my blog was for lawyers to represent employees from newspaper companies that are laid off.

A sign of the times to be for sure.

However, if a case went to trial, it had better resolve pretty quickly. At this rate, it looks like there's only one law chapter that most corporate council cares about. That chapter is number 11.

(Note: No disrespect intended to those potentially on the chopping block. I know it's stressful and I sincerely hope that that everyone is honorable and decent to those who've been the life blood of Gannett and plenty of other media empires. I'd want for there to be no need for ads like that.)
