A small victory, but it is a victory.
Now they can find “better jobs”, right Joe?
Meanwhile HuffPo is short-time because Buzzfeed will implode before the mid-terms.
Are they soliciting suggestions on who should go?
How about coding Solar Panels.
Wonderful news!

They should keep their cooking section. It’s the only thing they do that isn’t trash.
BuzzFEED?
BuzzSAW is more like it.
I APPROVE.
Acquisitions are done on the expectation that redundancies and synergies will result in enough cost savings to pay for the deal. You don’t need two accounting or HR departments for example, and the acquiring company usually keeps and expands theirs while the other one goes away.
Why would Buzzfeed pay people to not ask questions?
Initially, they tell everyone their jobs are safe and just proceed as normal because they don't want to cause a panic or morale issues among the workforce.
But after the new management comes on board and get the lay of the land, they can't avoid eliminating duplication and redundant employees.
After all, most mergers are to save one company from bankruptcy and to accomplish that, jobs, the most costly of all corporate expenses, will have to be trimmed.
I learned to get my resume polished up and sent out as soon as word of a merger was announced. Best to be looking before the floor falls out from under you when it's too late to find a lifesaver.
The HuffPost staff is naive if they didn't see this coming.
“Hillary Frey, the site’sexecutive editor”
Is she the site’s executive editor, or the site sexecutive editor?
Cuz the second one sounds intriguing...
Great, now they’ll be running around in Virginia Hats bitching about men nonstop.
“We never got a fair shot to prove our worth.”
Sure they did, their worth is reflected, however much in a roundabout way, in the market’s assessment of the company’s value, and that value was obviously low enough that a two bit outfit like BuzzFeed could scoop them up
Sounds exhausting, clicking all those internet links and watching MSNBC for ideas to crib.
Like other lefty sites the HuffPost has stopped allowing reader comments. Can’t take the heat.

“Despite BuzzFeed’s entrance into serious journalism, a 2014 Pew Research Center survey found that in the United States, BuzzFeed was viewed as an unreliable source by the majority of respondents, regardless of age or political affiliation.[11] The company has been described as ‘left-leaning’.[12]”
