Tegna to Hand Out Bonuses

Yesterday, after FTVLive called out Tegna and Meredith in a story about Scripps giving their employees bonuses, guess what?

Tegna decided to give their employees a $1000 one-time bonus.

You may remember just as the pandemic was getting started, Tegna decided to start furloughing their employees and docking them a week of pay.

Now, after raking in millions of dollars in political ads, Tegna is giving some of those employees a one-time bonus.

By the way, in the last quarter, Tegna brought in $738 million dollars in revenue. So yeah, they can afford it.

Funny how FTVLive put the Scripps story up yesterday and Tegna sent out a memo later that day.

You’re welcome.

Employees at Meredith are still waiting to see if their company will give them a bonus? I wouldn’t be holding my breath on that one.

Here is a portion of the internal memo sent to the staff from Tegna CEO Dave Lougee and obtained by FTVLive:
