Blogger Paid to Blog About Being Laid Off by The Miami Herald

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet on June 23, 2008 at 7:08 pm


Brayden Simms wrote for The Miami Herald’s Heavy Thrifting, a column about saving money, when recently the newspaper decided to take a tip on saving money and laid him (and many other employees) off.

But what’s a little ironic is how The Miami Herald is actually paying him to blog … about how he’s been laid off by The Miami Herald!

    I enjoyed his mom's comment, and how he could sell stuff on "Carl's List"

    Wow. It's interesting. I kind of like the openness of it all. Way to go Brayden for doing it.

    People always hate to talk about when they are laid off. But as it has become every day's news headline since Yahoo started it with cutting 1500 of its task force last year, now a need of platform has been in demand where people can express their selves in words how they are feeling about their company, whey the got laid off was that justified or not. And every thing they want to tell anonymously.

    And http://www.layoffgossip.com is providing you that platform.
