Times are so tough at the New York Times that the publishing giant can't afford to move many of its staffers into its glitzy new Eighth Avenue headquarters.
With office rental rates soaring in Midtown, Times chief Janet Robinson and head bean-counter Len Forman said this week that the company is actively looking to rent out even more than the five floors it had marked for other tenants earlier this year. The Times had originally planned to put its employees in all 28 of its floors in the 52-storey skyscraper, set to open this spring.
Some of that space was freed up after the Times cut 750 jobs beginning in 2005.
But the company also has moved some departments into lower-cost office space to conserve cash, Times executives told investors at two Manhattan media conferences this week.

It's good to "free up space."

Maybe they can move in at the United Nations.

"Maybe they can move in at the United Nations."
LOL! Good idea. I'm sure they would all get along wonderfully.

Might as well remain it self United Nations Times. That what they get for commiting acts of treason.

Every so often I used to get a NYT Telemarketer call, and I'd laugh all thru their spiel... It's great that they cannot even afford to work in their own building.

Is this the same new building which the Times used eminent domain to force a bunch of successful businesses out to clear space for it? I thought the "logic" behind the forced transfer of private property to another owner was to clear blight to allow for a new successful business, not to clear successful businesses to make room for blight.

"Times are so tough at the New York Times that the publishing giant can't afford to move many of its staffers into its glitzy new Eighth Avenue headquarters."
This needs a rewrite -
Times are so tough at the New York Times that the left wing cult can't afford to move many of its followers into its glitzy new Eighth Avenue compound.

The elite mediot maggot infested owners and publishers of the major dinosaur fishwrap, the Ny Slimes, are the modern day, Norman Bates. They are trying to keep the corpse alive by refusing to admit that it is dead and to bury it. 
Buy my Dinosaur Fishwrap stock, NYT. The old gray lady is just fine!

Thanks.
The subject is so easy to make fun of and still be on target.
