PNJ furloughs can be vacations

   March 31, 2009

Missing your favorite daily newspaper reporter? Well, they could be furloughing. The Gannett Blog reports:

Facing another furlough, Gannett Digital’s clever Laura Cochran joined employees last week using free text-message broadcaster Twitter to launch Furlough House Swap. The site’s for workers trying to turn mandatory unpaid time off into early-summer vacations — on the cheap. The idea: match co-workers willing to swap homes for one week, free, during the required months of April, May or June.
