From The People We Look To For Business Advice

The NY Times blurbs their latest attempt to resuscitate the Obama agenda:

Business and the Minimum Wage

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

Paying workers more can help companies lower turnover and improve productivity.

We hope the Times publishers take this advice to heart as we contemplate these headlines at the Huffington Post:

NYT Editor Speaks Out About 'Painful' Layoffs

NYT Lays Off 'Far Fewer People' Than It Expected

Top New York Times Editor Stepping Down

Layoffs Approaching At NY Times

Major NYT Layoffs

New York Times Layoffs Begin

New York Times Panic: Staffers Told To Rein In Spending While They Await The Bloodbath

Clearly the Times could improve morale and workplace stability by giving their employees a 40% raise. Or does the advice they are so happy to dole out to others only work for real businesses?

“Paying workers more can help companies lower turnover...”

Is that really a problem right now? People are generally holding on to what they can get.

Seriously??

With the way that the NYT has been hemorrhaging financially for the past several years, I find it incredible that anybody in their right mind would ever look to that organization for any sort of financial insight.

The NYT is a classic example of how NOT to run a business or manage one’s finances.

Isn't that called "job lock"?

One of the cornerstones of liberalism is hypocrisy
