Washington Post to conduct layoffs in coming year
The Hill ^ | 12/14/2022 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

The Washington Post will conduct layoffs in the coming year, publisher Fred Ryan told employees during a town hall on Wednesday.

Video taken from the in-person town hall at the newspaper’s downtown Washington, D.C., headquarters and posted to social media shows frustrated employees peppering Ryan with questions about how the newsroom will be effected and demanding a justification for the cuts.

“We’ll have more information as we move forward,” Ryan is seen saying before thanking the employees in attendance as he walks away.

Kathy Baird, chief communications officer at the Post, told The Hill on Wednesday afternoon the company anticipates the coming job cuts “will be a single digit percentage of our employee base, and we will finalize those plans over the coming weeks.”

They just need more hot leaks from the FBI and they’ll be fine.

so, if the demanded justification doesn’t meet their standards, i’m guessing they’ll refuse to be laid off ...
