Where's AOC on this? ActBlue is a huge reason why she's not a bartender anymore.


Oh... Right.

She's busy. She just got caught using a now deleted (but heavily archived) second burner Twitter account to send a death threat.

MTV News to shut down as Paramount slashes US workforce

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/09/media/mtv-news/index.html

Quote:

A major Paramount division announced Tuesday it will shutter MTV News and slash its US workforce by 25%, bringing to an end the iconic music video network’s news division that once covered a range of issues from pop culture to politics and became a household name for Generation X and Millennial adolescents.


It's been a great year. First VICE, then BuzzFeed "News", and now MTV "News".

They're all folding. Just like I said they would.

CNN, The Washington Post, NPR, Gannett, Vox Media, NBC News and others have also cut their workforces in recent months.

While company executives did not confirm the exact scope of this round, Zuckerberg said in March that the company planned to eliminate 10,000 positions by the end of May, after previously cutting 11,000 in November. Last month, Meta cut around 4,000 of those planned 10,000 positions, leaving about 6,000 positions potentially on the chopping block this round. At the end of 2022, Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, had around 86,000 employees.




Google, Meta, Amazon hire low-paid foreign workers after US layoffs: report

/

Quote:

Some of the biggest companies in tech including Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Salesforce have hired foreign workers just weeks after reducing headcount by thousands of employees, according to a report.

Google, which laid off some 12,000 employees earlier this year, filed applications for low-paid foreign workers to come to the United States and assume highly specialized tech roles within the company, according to investigative journalist Lee Fang.

The Alphabet-owned search engine submitted applications for dozens of foreign workers who were seeking to fill roles including software engineers, analytical consultants, user experience researchers and others, Fang wrote in his Substack newsletter on Tuesday.

The Google-owned self-driving outfit Waymo also received government approval for H-1B visa applications for engineering jobs, according to Fang.

The newly employed workers from overseas will begin working at the company as soon as Aug. 17, Fang reported.
