    In reply to Tipster Confirms Ten Layoffs at the New York Post
    Back in the 80s, my first real job was a reporter for a local bi-weekly up in Putnam county. The only other reporter on the staff of that paper - hired the same time I was was - is now a reporter for the New York Post.

    Although I haven't to him in over 20 years, I hope he's not on this layoff list. He probably isn't though, since the Post hired him only a year ago, and he's really good.

    @MisterHippity: I know that was probably interesting to nobody but me, but I just felt like sharing it. It's the "reminiscence disease." Comes with age, I guess.

    "the dismissals are not economically motivated"

    Of course not. Has the Post ever made money?

    In reply to Tipster Confirms Ten Layoffs at the New York Post
    I'm a bit confused. The tipster states that these people should have been released a while ago. Then he/she goes on to say that most of them are minorities.

    Were these employees tapped to be right-sized out of the building due to poor performance? Were they given the shitty assignments because they were minorities?

    Given the tipster's comments, I'm not sure if we should be upset that minorities are being unfairly targeted or if we should simply feel badly for yet another round of layoffs.

    Just got forwarded this:

    To New York Post Staff:

    Most of you have read the sensational allegations a former employee made in a complaint filed against our company and our executives. Her claims of being a victim of unlawful discrimination and retaliation are baseless.

    In fact, the entire complaint is filled with distortions and misstatements and virtually every key factual assertion is untrue. We will defend this case vigorously and are confident that the legal process will reveal it to be totally meritless.

    While we are in the midst of this litigation, we urge you to do your best to focus on your work and respectfully ask that you not discuss it with fellow employees or people outside the company.

    Thank you for your cooperation and if you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Human Resources.

    Today's Gawker take on the Post:

    1) It's full of racist sexists (Guzman sues)
    2) It's dying! (reaction to the Times report)
    3) Awesome story about the big spending Malaysian club guy.

    Summary: Death to the Post -- God save the Post. #newyorkpost

    Because the Post is the only place where writers are willing to work for an evil overlord. And being a Hispanic woman, everything Sandra Guzman says *must* be true. #newyorkpost

    @Joe Mitchell's Secret: Actually, being a Hispanic woman is the reason she had to put up with this shit in the first place. I can see how a person could find it hard to believe that Ms. Guzman is telling the truth, what with all that journalistic integrity and ethical practices the Post has always been known for

    Sounds like some of the editorial jobs I had, including the one where my (married, older) boss said to me, "You look like someone who really likes a good f***." And a few days later, after word got around, he had me fired. #newyorkpost

    You have two choices in life:

    A) Learn to deflect the comments of morons.

    B) Marry rich.

    Choose wisely.

    @burbere002: Wondering why you ask. Because I was so shocked I passed out in the ladies' room after the incident (I was young and naive then), a co-worker had to drive me home, and it was much discussed after that. Okay? #newyorkpost

    As a white, male American, I am simply appalled and offended by the amount of reverse racism and reverse sexism shown by Miss Guzman and her alleged Complaint.

    These quibbles show insensitivity to my worldview that as a white man in America, I can do or say whatever I like to whomever I like with no consequences whatsoever. Moreover, I'm sure that there is a study from a think tank somewhere that shows a majority of Americans agree with me.

    Now if you don't mind, I have some pictures of penises I need to have circulated to the "womyn" in this office to show them what they're missing out on. #newyorkpost

    @OMG! Ponies!: It saddens me that I can not heart you more than once.

    Wait, giggling frat-boy asshats run our nation's media network? WHAT?!? How can it be so!

    Oh, how broken are my illusions. Next you'll tell me that our financial system is commandeered by over-privileged bastard frat boys who only hire their sons or the best friends of their sons for positions of power and drink sapphire-infused champagne out of the shattered shells of their minor stockholders and bank/loan customers's hopes and dreams.
