An online P-I? Some staffers are getting (much-slimmed-down) offers to stay…

Looks like we may still have Joel Connelly to kick around, even as most of his colleagues go down with the print edition of the P-I.

Hearst is reportedly offering jobs, tentatively, to some current news staffers. But here's the description of the offer from a reporter who turned it down. He:

"said the offer increased his health insurance cost, cut his salary by an unspecified amount, offered to match his 401(k) contributions, required him to forgo his P-I severance pay, reduced his vacation accrual to zero and required him to give up overtime."
