As another source put it in an email: "Most people let go were older, have been with the company a long time and collecting a decent salary for what they do. They will be replaced by younger, less experienced and most importantly a much less compensated employee."

As the Hartford Courant notes, ESPN is a Connecticut "First Five" employer. In return for being an active job creator in Connecticut, the network receives grants, low-interest loans, and all sorts of tax benefits from the state. Per the Courant, this massive round of layoffs won't bump ESPN out of the program.

so which one is it?
fire the older employees who get a better severance package - get criticized
fire the younger employees who get a shitty severance package - get criticized
i guess the answer is NEVER HIRE ANYONE THAT WAY YOU DONT HAVE TO EVER FIRE ANYONE

I hate how these over-paid older people are preventing young people from doing the same job for half the price. Unions often prevent that.
