Pointcast Having More Problems
from the remember-when-news-corp-offered-$400-million? dept
It looks like Pointcast is running into more problems as they have to pay employees a bonus just to keep them there through the end of the month. All this while their CEO, top executives and board members are all bailing out. I love the comment from a spokesperson who makes it sound as if the bonuses are a good thing, because it makes the employees realize that "this is important".Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
