Layoffs are expected to rock The Washington Post this week, according to people familiar with the matter. The layoffs are slated to hit the Jeff Bezos-owned and Will Lewis-led newspaper's business division, I’m told. One person familiar with the matter said that the cuts will be deep, impacting many dozens of employees. The layoffs will surely deplete morale further inside the beleaguered newspaper, which has suffered a talent exodus over the last several weeks. As I reported earlier, star reporter Josh Dawsey will exit The Post for a job at The Wall Street Journal. His departure comes on the heels of other top staffers fleeing, including Matea Gold, Ashley Parker, Michael Scherer, Charles Lane, Tyler Pager, and Amanda Katz.

Nelson Muntz is amused.

Any big names?

Aw gee, that sure is too bad.

Honest work at Jiffy Lube, or Kroger’s.

Their financial situation might improve if they covered the news and printed the truth. But that's crazy talk.

When the korporation only served to provide illegal political contributions-in-kind and has been exposed, it’s time to shut the doors.

Don’t know - my view is anything that negatively impacts the MSM is a good thing.

It cannot happen fast enough. The Washington Post is a national disgrace and embarrassment.

Why not? ChatGPT won’t go on strike. And it’s even more controllable.

Until it goes rogue, but the humans at the WaPo went rogue long ago.

Don’t Jiffy Lube and Krogers require some sort of job skills?

[wally_bert]

Those places act like they want a masters degree and 10 years experience for an entry level job.

I ditched the Scranton paper years ago related to censorship of patriotic opinion and content.

[antidemoncrat]

I’m sure Bezos won’t lose his job there.

[AppyPappy]

Hmmm....going downhill with a controversial Republican President going into office? Normally, this would be a gold mine for them.
Soros needs to buy it and also pay for thousands of subscriptions to make it look like people are actually reading this shishnizzle.

[OKSooner]

I try to be fair with everybody, all the time, about everything.

Gotta start over somewhere. :)

[Savage Beast]

Is it going the way of CNN?

[Enterprise]

I’d tell them to learn to code, but they are going to start bringing in H1Bs for that now.

[grey_whiskers]

They’ve been offshoring and bringing in H1-Bs for decades; now they are trying to to replace H1-Bs with even lower quality (if such a thing is possible) by using ChatGPT and AI.
