One day after the Washington Post laid off roughly a third of its newsroom, former staff and supporters gathered outside the paper’s Downtown D.C. headquarters to protest the cuts.
Former transportation reporter Rachel Weiner, who spent 15 years at the Post, told the large crowd she was struggling with the loss of her job and what it meant for the community.
“Yeah, I’m sad about it obviously,” she said. “It is really disappointing having worked to cover as much as possible in this region because it’s also important. The Post has just decided it doesn’t matter to them.”
Weiner said this round of cuts was handled differently from past layoffs.
“They did something they haven’t done in previous layoffs and buyouts, which is you lock us out of the building and the systems immediately and not let us finish anything we were working on,” Weiner said.

Yes their grandiose sense of their own importance is hilarious. “Three hundred journalists holding Power to account.” 😆😆😆
People get laid off every day! Why is it such a big deal when these leftists lose their jobs?
Their self-importance is magnified!
I wish I could’ve been there. I would’ve stood there screaming learn to code.
“It’s time to defund the entire weaponized judiciary.”

Absolutely no gun allowed for anybody, government or civilian, robe-wearing or not.

I say we go 100% in the other direction. Unless you’re a criminal defendant.

I never got laid off in my working career, but if I ever did I’m pretty sure my only thought would be finding another job, not protesting the one that’s gone.
If your position at The Washington Post was recently eliminated, please consider applying to write for The Babylon Bee. We are seeking applicants experienced in writing fictional content presented in the tone and style of a legitimate news organization.
Any thinking adult would be home polishing their resume and looking for work. They “wouldn’t let us finish what we were working on” “locked out of the system.” Yeah, WAPO knows there are several who would do as much damage as possible.
All these millions, whose jobs were send to China, feel your pain.
At least you are not forced to train your Chinese replacements!
LOL!

The Bible says gloating is a sin.
I’m a sinner, saved by grace.
“Right? It’s standard operating procedure to lock out a potentially angry laid off or fired employee to prevent violence, sabotage or theft especially during a mass layoff. She’s not special.”
“We find it’s always better to fire people on a Friday.”
So long, it’s been bad to know ya
So long, it’s been bad to know ya
So long, it’s been bad to know ya
This fake news old rag is a-sending you home
And you’ve got to be drifting along
Lyrics! Please. “All together now!,” as the protest singers would say.
