Fox News begins 'company-wide layoffs'

"Company-wide layoffs" are currently taking place at Fox News.

This information comes from journalist Chadwick Moore.

Moore, in the past few days, has posted several messages to his Twitter account exposing what is going on, largely out of the public's eye.

It turns out that among those being laid off are the remaining members of Tucker Carlson's team. Carlson, of course, is the extremely popular former Fox News host who was fired by Fox in April for undisclosed reasons.

The "company-wide layoffs" In a Twitter message that Moore posted on Friday, July 14, he wrote:

EXCLUSIVE: According to a current senior producer at Fox News, there are company-wide layoffs happening right now that no one is reporting on. “Morale miserable across teams on both news and opinion,” the producer says.

Moore goes on to report his source as saying that Fox's shows are getting "frantic, bipolar guidance almost daily on blacklisted and unblacklisted guests, including sitting members of the Senate."

In subsequent Twitter messages, Moore gave as an example U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL).

Moore in one message, wrote, "According to multiple sources, @TTuberville was banned from the prominent shows on the network . . ."

Moore, in a separate message, also suggested that Fox fired an executive producer for Fox & Friends after this individual invited Tuberville onto her show.

There's more Moore, in yet another Twitter message, revealed that the remaining members of Carlson's team are also being fired by Fox.

Moore writes:

EXCLUSIVE: @TuckerCarlson’s remaining team at Fox News (nine employees) will be frog marched out of the building tonight at 9:00pm. HR will be waiting outside the control room when they finish tonight’s show to escort the remaining producers outside. One former Carlson producer called it “Degrading!”

Moore, here, also provides a screenshot that, according to him, is the very email that Fox sent to these employees. Take a look at the email for yourself:

The big question, of course, is why is all of this taking place. And, we do not know the answer - Fox has kept silent. It's clear, however, that Fox appears to be in some serious trouble, and it is also clear that this trouble emerged after its 2020 presidential election coverage, after its firing of Carlson, and - perhaps most importantly - after it adopted an anti-Trump position. This probably is no coincidence.

I've been at two companies that did major layoffs. The first place was one that I had intended to be a long term career. Upon seeing the bloodletting, I decided I could do MUCH better elsewhere. I did that almost 32 years ago. No regrets. The former employer crashed hard and was acquired by a competitor. The 2nd bloodletting layoff was at a startup. I left that one voluntarily and left 38,000 options at 9 cents each on the table. The IPO happened 60 days after I left and the shares went to $26 each. When I left, I told the CEO that I couldn't afford to be a wealthy cripple. I had worked so hard that I couldn't open doors, lift a glass of water or drive my car from the repetitive stress injuries to my hands and arms. Again, no regrets. My current employer has continued to offer great salary and benefits.

After my exit from PacBell, I heard some of the impacts of the massive layoffs. It was mostly software developers who got the axe. Of 360 active projects, 180 were so gutted by loss of corporate memory/experience that they were abandoned. Of the remaining 180, some that were outsourced were total disasters. In one instance, the contracted company smugly showed the fruits of their labor to continue one of the abandoned projects. Really neat interface to ONE of the internal systems. Unfortunately, there were FIVE other systems that had to be integrated to make the project work. The contracted vendor was clueless...as was the company because they fired everyone who knew what was necessary.

Trading Roger Ailes for Paul Ryan and the Murdoch Witches not a good move.

I’ll bet FOX is keeping the blond bimbos and liberals. Bimbos keep the morale high for incompetent people who got their jobs based on Kolor, Kink and/or Kin (wealthy daddy’)

We alrady know they don’t care about ‘merit’ because if they did Tucker would still be working there.

Democrats and their new KKK... Kolor, Kink, and Kin...

[Red Badger]

The Murdoch boys that are now in charge, and their sisters and wives, are all liberals.................

[lewislynn]

Still the faithful can't make the connection to Tucker's longevity with Fox and his silence on 2020 election fraud.

Some numbskulls still think he was a voice of opposition...BULLSHIT!

He was the Fox sound of silence on 2020 AND J6, spewing useless regurgitated bile and too many fell for it night after night.

FNC was likely always Deep State.

[devere]

Let me know when they lay off the Murdochs.

[Albion Wilde]

Gosh, why hasn’t that incredibly smart board member Paul Ryan done something constructive to avoid this?

[Red Badger]

That IS his job.....................

Cable news is dying quickly. Who wants to spend an hour watching it when you can immediately see what’s happening in the world from your phone?

I saw that happen at my employer, the very best went first or retired. I managed to stay because my boss was literally the village idiot, stunningly lazy, treated other employees like crap and flaunted the rules with impunity for fifteen years. Then one day he flaunted the rules and it caused major issues for another employee in another department who was quite upset with him and asked me and my co-worker if this was normal to which we responded, welcome to our world.

That particular employee who my boss took a dump on later became the president of our business so amazingly someone who should have been canned a long time ago was canned and me and my co-worker survived the layoffs.

[Political Junkie Too]

That happened only once at my company.

The IT division of my MegaCorp had their first-ever round of layoffs where normal corporate severance was offered. However, a few years later when a second round of layoffs happened due to a reorganization, the division decided to not offer corporate severance but allow employees to take early withdrawals from their retirement savings (I don't recall the details but I think they didn't want the opex on their books). THAT's when the talent decided to leave.

The division never did that again, and all future layoffs followed the corporate severance plans. I survived all of the layoffs and finally retired after 40 years with the company. We had a reputation as an older workforce when I finally left.

20 years back it was Hannity & Commie and they got rid of Commie.

Come contract renewal time, Hannity probably goes.
