It's widely believed that there will be an announcement of lay-offs Friday morning in Grand Rapids. Perhaps with people being laid-off immediately throughout the editorial departments and copy desks.
I'm posting the above with reservations, because it is from an anonymous source I would ask folks to consider the source before taking complete stock in it.
As you may recall, Booth informed employees that the job security pledge will end on Feb. 5 and that there likely will be layoffs. Just a matter of when the announcement will come.
