Curious as to why the SJF, after approving a 10 year plan and the hiring of 6 new employees would give all 22 Pacific Standard Magazine staff members 9 days notice of closure. Many of these staff members quit their previous jobs to join PC Magazine, with children starting school, Santa Barbara rents to pay and now no insurance. If they had just allowed Pacific Standard magazine to legally exist a little longer all staff would be eligible for COBRA benefits, if they had released the last quarterly promised funding (which would have been like you or I going out for milk at Ralphs) all staff would have real deserved parachutes for comfortable transitions to other jobs. What did the staff of Pacific Standard ever do to the Social Justice Foundation to deserve this? It seems like a revenge move against a talented staff that gave all their their creative energy to PS Magazine and are now left high and dry with seriously inadequate notice, which seems to me to be a real social injustice. All these facts were accurately reported in the national press, why not in Santa Barbara? If you're receiving funding from the SJF how safe is that funding?
