    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 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.
