			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/gannett-worst-places-to-work.jpg" alt="gannett-worst-places-to-work" title="gannett-worst-places-to-work" width="200" height="166" class="alignright size-full wp-image-13693" /><a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/tag/gannett/">Gannett</a> is one of the worst places you could be working right now, according to an <a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/blog/2008/12/who%E2%80%99s-the-lowest-of-them-all-glassdoor-reports-companies-with-lowest-ratings/">end-of-year report</a> compiled by employee survey site <a href="http://www.glassdoor.com">Glassdoor</a>.</p>
<p>The job satisfaction site compiled its user-submitted rankings and reviews from the past year and found Gannett to have an overall rating of 2.6 (out of a possible 5 points). CEO Craig Dubow&#8217;s approval rating? A whopping 19 percent. He&#8217;s even beating President Bush&#8217;s <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/12/george-bush.html">historically low approval score</a> with that number.</p>
<p>Gannett appears to be the only media ownership group that made Glassdoor&#8217;s bottom 50 list.</p>
<p>Clicking over to the <a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Gannett-Reviews-E272.htm">reviews page</a> for the company provides some interesting user-submitted headlines. To be fair, some of them are neutral or even slightly positive. Some of the ones that stood out the most, however, included:</p>
<p>• &#8220;I am sorry for those that are still there&#8221; &#8211;Executive Assistant in McLean, VA (US)</p>
<p>• &#8220;The horribly mismanaged side of the media industry.&#8221; &#8211;Web Developer in Bridgeport, CT (US)</p>
<p>• &#8220;Working for Gannett feels like you&#8217;re on the lower class levels of the Titanic.&#8221; &#8211;Master Control Operator</p>
<p>• &#8220;Gannett will erode your soul.&#8221; &#8211;Marketing in Indianapolis, IN (US)</p>
<p>Gannett, as you may recall, has seen more than its share of <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/6572/media-briefs/">layoffs</a> and <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/6237/more-bad-news-for-newspapers-advertising-at-gannett-down-176/">profit challenges</a> this past year as the company struggles to find its way in the modern media world. CEO Craig Dubow recently <a href="http://gannettblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/reader-dubow-officers-taking-pay-cut.html">cut his next year&#8217;s salary</a> from $7,500,000 to $7,300,000 to help. We sarcastically commended his oh-so-generous gesture <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/7272/craig-dubow-gannett-ceo-pay-cut/">here</a>, in case you missed it.</p>
<p>You can check out Glassdoor&#8217;s full list of the 50 worst companies &#8212; which also includes AT&#038;T/AT&#038;T Mobility, Blockbuster, Real, and eBay &#8212; <a href="http://www.glassdoor.com/blog/2008/12/who%E2%80%99s-the-lowest-of-them-all-glassdoor-reports-companies-with-lowest-ratings/">here</a>.
