BREAKING: Washington Post to cut 240 positions as Americans turn away from corporate media
The Post Millenial ^ | 10-10-23 | Hannah Nightingale

The Washington Post is reportedly cutting 240 employees in the 'hopes of averting more difficult actions such as layoffs — a situation we are united in trying to avoid."

An email obtained by New York Times reporter Ben Mullin states that employees will be attending a 10 am meeting on October 11 to discuss the action.

"Following this meeting, all eligible employees will be notified by email if their position is included in the program, and they are welcome to consider the package. Senior leaders will then share department specific information in meetings to follow throughout the day," the email reportedly read.

This program referenced by the media outlet is a "voluntary separation package" that will be offered to employees in an effort to reduce 240 positions "across all functions of The Post."

Wow, Bezos is acting out the supply and demand ratio... No one is reading or believing the Washington Post. Fire another 250 of them, and the FBI will be forced to leak to The Epoch Times.

240 foot soldiers in the war off progressivism versus traditionalism. They were probably surprised. After all that hard work and sacrifice, this is the reward? They should rejoice! They are evidence of their own success.

Doesn’t matter with the Western Media as they have their Sugar Daddies.

The Washington Post is really woke. The newspaper used to be pretty decent around 20 years ago. It was liberal but they actually took their work seriously. Now it’s a propaganda piece for the Democratic Party.

These 240 jobs lost will be front-page news across the world.

Coal miners in West Virginia? Not so much.

I guess the WaPo reporters can learn to code the AI bots that are replacing them.
