    If you still work at the Post after all this time it’s kind of on you. They’ve had years to find employment at outlets that aren’t a direct mouthpiece for Bezos.

      I’m not sure it’s that simple. The job market isn’t great right now, you’re on a programming instance so I would think you would know that the job market is rough even for programmers right now.

        Well now it’s not, but Bezos bought the post like 10 years ago.

          Well in the past 4 years we’ve had an unheard of in the modern age pandemic followed by way too many mass layoffs, so that’s nearly half a decade where it wasn’t so feasible to switch jobs.

          Although yeah it’s true, they could have left in the 6 years prior, but I’m also not sure how many opportunities they had elsewhere in general, especially without having to uproot their lives and relocate elsewhere.

          I do find it hard to demonize the workers when the focus should be on those at the top.
