Staff Fumes, Ashley Judd Weeps as Time’s Up Pink-Slips Almost Everyone
Daily Beast ^ | 11/19/2021 | By Emily Shugerman

The vast majority of Time’s Up’s remaining staffers were laid off Friday in what they described as a debacle that began with leaders revealing they gave the news to the Washington Post first and ended with board member Ashley Judd breaking down in tears.

The embattled organization, limping since its CEO and entire board resigned this summer, announced Friday that it would lay off the vast majority of its remaining staff. Leadership informed staff of the decision in a virtual meeting that started 15 minutes before the Post article made the pink slips national news.

“They said on the call, ‘The Washington Post is releasing a piece right now,’” said Stacey Ferguson, Time’s Up’s digital director. “Some staff members were like, ‘Oh my god, my mom is going to read about it before I can tell her.’”

“To paraphrase what a colleague shared on the call: For an organization that’s supposed to be advocating for fair and dignified workplaces, this feels like the opposite of that,” Ferguson added.

Schadenfreude of the day. This is the crooked org whose leader actually advised Andrew Cuomo on fighting the sexual harassment charges against him.

It's difficult to say goodbye when you never had a hello.   I won't remember hearing of anything called Time's Up.   It seems as if the name was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

What a bunch of frikkin’ idiots they are. Having Ashley Judd on board proves that beyond any shadow of doubt.

This is the crooked org

Darn right. For instance, can I get a "Just, wow!" for this?

"Multiple outlets reported over the summer that the leaders of Time’s Up—which was created in response to the #MeToo movement—had counseled then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations against him and had disparaged his accuser in text messages."

Ashley Judd crying?

This source says she is worth $18 million. Why doesn’t she share the wealth?

Stupid broad fell into some bad luck last summer. I’m surprised she’s getting around at all.

“… it would lay off the vast majority of its remaining staff.”

“Well, we had to keep a couple of people to sell all the equipment and furniture, and we kept one guy to do nothing but collect all of Ashley’s empty liquor bottles to return them for the deposit.”
