A reliable tipster tells us Forbes waited until after they laid off dozens of people to announce bonus paid leave. Several victims are talking to lawyers because they worked ten months of 2009 and feel entitled to any reward.

Says our tipster:

A Steve Forbes memo at the start of the latest layoffs said the hardships would be "company-wide" but as soon as the last worker was cut, the survivors were told they were getting a paid holiday the last week of December. Interesting, huh.
