Rumblings at the Globe

I'm told that the Boston Globe's Morrissey Boulevard headquarters is currently adorned with signs calling all employees to a 10:30 AM meeting in the William O. Taylor room. It's not clear right now what the purpose of the meeting is--but given the state of the newspaper industry and the New York Times Co.'s push last year to eliminate lifetime-job guarantees at the Globe, one has to wonder if a program of buyouts and/or layoffs is about to be announced.

I'll provide more information when I get it; in the meantime, any Globe staffers inclined to weigh in should feel free to do so, on background or otherwise.
