How difficult is this to understand. Buyouts are created to get rid of the bottom feeders in an organization, not the valuable people. It was denied because he is too valuable to the paper.

In other words, things have gone from good to bad for the Globe since the start of this decade, but they won't go back the other way.

I assume the issue was that he accepted the buyout with a job in hand, which is a no-no in most buyouts. What was the issue with Edes’ buyout?

You write at the start of your comment that this is a reversal of fortune for the Globe, then you write at the end that there is no reversal of fortune for the Globe. Make up your mind.

But what a reversal of fortune for the Globe: a newspaper that people once proudly worked for is now a newspaper that people can't wait to leave for supposed greener pastures. Only a biased optimist would argue that the vanished advertising revenues at the Globe and the NYT are somehow going to return, or that either newspaper is going to be able to switch to a revenue-generating paid-for model after giving away their product for free these past decades. There is no reversal of fortune in the cards for the Globe or the NYT...and they know it. Gordon is a talent, no doubt.
