Tribune Co. has asked the bankruptcy court for permission to award $13 million in bonuses to certain employees, even as more newspaper employees are being shown the door across the country, according to a story in the Chicago Tribune.
About 670 managerial employees are to benefit for doing such a great job of escorting people to their cars, with average payments of $18,000.
Payments are expected to total $12.2 million, while another $1 million in bonuses appears to be up in the air.
Meanwhile, another 70 employees may get about $2.5 million in severance payments that is owed to them, which sounds like a decent move.
The Delaware bankruptcy court is expected to rule on the motions during a May 12 court hearing.
