This shows the true scope of these layoffs — and it’s deeper than numbers on a page.
These numbers aren’t just statistics. They reflect careers, communities, and a profound shift in who gets to shape the journalism and mission of The Washington Post.

We’re standing together to support The Post’s tech workers as they form the Washington Post Tech Guild to fix it.
On April 7, a majority of over 300 technology workers at The Washington Post announced the formation of The Washington Post Tech Guild, a step they are taking to build a more equitable, transparent, and sustainable future for all tech workers at The Post.
Around the world, The Washington Post has earned a reputation for being a news organization that holds the powerful to account. Every day, the technologists who power The Post innovate, develop and maintain tools and systems that benefit this world class journalism. Members of the Washington Post Tech Guild should be offered equity and inclusion, a seat at the table, fair compensation and benefits, job security, just cause protections, and flexibility and modern work practices.
I hope you will recognize their union voluntarily and urge you to do so. These workers deserve the same fairness, transparency and respect that readers expect from The Post.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h4vnnuk6epgz7xypxlntowqh/bafkreig6us4qz3eoxfgphq4jntfumv7lxp2ox5nsgwpwlnwtn4chldthra)
