Today, it comes out that Harper and Pearson are freezing pay increases (including at Penguin!), Bowker’s slashing positions, and Macmillan’s intimating job cuts. Who knows who’s next?
So, to all my friends in book publishing, I’ve trolled the current NYC Craigslist postings to help you begin thinking ahead to other potential careers:
Experienced lice treatment professionals
Egg Donors earn up to $10,000
Female galmour[sic]/art/figure model
Bather/Fluffer for Dog Grooming Spa
Bathroom Attendant
Study for Painful and Discomforting Symptoms Following Menopause
Seeking Fun Flirty Types for Shot Girl
Paid focus group for people suffering from Excessive Sleepiness
Gritty rock vocalist w/ sick chopsBEAUTIFUL, FRIENDLY GIRLS...MAKE $100+ AN HOUR DOING FANTASY ROLEPLAY!
and my favorite option:
Hey Girls, Make $100 Per Hour With Your FEET!
Start polishing those resumes!

Okay, that lice treatment professional position is just EW!!!
And S&S lost 35 employees (who won't be replaced), but thankfully, the rest of us got Christmas bonuses... in the form of still having jobs!
That role-playing job doesn't sound so bad, "...sometimes just conversation."
What the hell is going on the Upper East side? Or is just the East side? Or is it just crazy new york? Or what.
