Washington City Paper
Bob Woodward has been getting $10,000 a year -- he took a voluntary pay cut in 2006 -- so his exit check would be $20,000, based on the Post's exit pay formula. Prior to 2006, his salary was about $180,000. If his exit check is calculated on that basis, he'd get $360,000 from the buyout.
Erik Wemple reports the Post's business side is now trying to figure out whether to give Woodward the small payout or the large payout. (Whatever is decided, he's going to remain on contract with the paper at a buck a year.)
