A sinking ship: mandatory overtime, clueless management, low pay - Designer Lee Enterprises Employee Review

The design center I work at is mandating six days a week shifts. Layoffs are happening across the board - another design center is being shut down and papers are slashing newsroom staffs. Pay does not reflect the amount of work you do or stress you endure. No raises or rewards for good work. Working with editors to "design" a page is about as fun as a root canal, and that's your main job. No innovation or encouragement, no push for quality work, no support. If you're looking to be a newspaper designer, this is not the place for you.
