More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.
Something darkly funny to me is all the people who work there whose job it is to grow subscribers seeing their last three years of hard work flushed down the drain on the whims of the owner.
I’d love to sit in on performance reviews for Q4’s end.
I’ve been there. It sucks sooooooooo much. Especially if you’ve made family sacrifices (missing events etc.) to travel to get those deals closed - just to see them just evaporate in a whim.
That’s why I got out of Tech Sales and into management.
