&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;After having already laid off some 7000 employees in the last two years, the Gannet Company (the largest newspaper publisher in the country) is trying something new. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The New York Times&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; reports that Gannet is forcing its employees to take an unpaid, one-week furlough. The number of people&amp;nbsp;made to&amp;nbsp;take a leave of absence, as well as how much money this will save the company, is unspecified. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Though the &quot;vacation&quot; is unpaid and forced, and without hardship exceptions, I gotta say it beats losing your job altogether.&amp;nbsp; Plus, you have extra time to spend with your family, read a book, and catch up on sleep.&amp;nbsp;Our recent Vault survey, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Downsize This: Employees Sound Off&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;, showed that 64% of you would take a pay cut if it meant keeping your job, while only 19% of&amp;nbsp;the companies even offered the option. Since many companies are already several rounds into layoffs, perhaps&amp;nbsp;they&#39;ll start embracing these alternative money saving measures before&amp;nbsp;axing more jobs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;What do you think? What else could companies do to ride out the recession? Leave us a comment and check out what others had to say in our &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;survey&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Linda Petock, Vault News &amp;amp; Commentary&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
