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.

LOL! Thanks for posting.
It’s not like they have a job to go to. (snicker). Learn to code, deadbeats.
If you have a business be careful. Do not hire any of these often-dishonest “news” people. Their professional integrity is questionable.
Go start a podcast like every other media loser who gets shitcanned. What normal person protests against the company that fired them? I should go picket the landscaper who fired me during a drought when I was 17.
Uhhhm, the community wasn't buying your paper. Ergo you lose, you get nothing, good day....Sir(?)!
They better get going with their Dips**t Court skank judgette hunting to save their jobs. There’s a new Non-native American Injun Indira judgette who is sticking it to Americans and another frigging subhuman judgey name Mustafa. Solid Americans taking America down the pathway to a third world crap hole. It’s time to defund the entire weaponized judiciary. Those far left SOBs have handcuffed an entire administration elected by us, the American people. It’s time that Americans are given some kind of recourse to get back at these godless “judges”. Impeach or sue them. Something. They all need to go. They are criminals.
They may be hiring at WorldNetDaily.
“I don’t think we know yet the impact of losing 300 journalists who hold power to account.”
Of course, they all, or almost all, liberal Democrats. They were cheerleaders when Democrat politicians abused their power.
They have very self awareness of the fact that decades of bias contributed to their own situation.
Learn to code, buttercups.
Oops:
They have ZERO self awareness of the fact that decades of bias contributed to their own situation.

“lock us out of the building and the systems immediately and not let us finish anything we were working on”
Good move.
Never trust Marxists near your property.
Maybe had they not been hopelessly biased they would still have their jobs.
Maybe they can get jobs at Starbucks.
Learn to code.
They should follow the self sufficient lead of Don Lemon
They should create a newspaper start up /s
Bezos got tired of the constant leftest lies from these “employees”.
So he fired a big chunk of them.
Yes, exactly. Rachel just marked herself as a chronic whiner. Good luck finding new employment, you toxic harridan.
The very fact that people feel they can air such complaints in public marks them as losers.
Never love your company, because it will never love you back.
Three years of college - right out the window.
