Please note that this reflects the impact on Post Guild-represented employees only and the full company-wide impact is even greater.

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We will continue to bargain with the hope that these cuts are rescinded and the demand that management agrees to a humane separation package. #SaveThePost

“These cuts make no sense and don’t appear to have been made by anyone with any passing understanding of what our team did or does. You took a group that had real passion for the work and people they did it with and turned that into a group that feels betrayed, broken, confused.”

“I almost couldn’t believe it: That we would be laid off by email, standing on the sidewalk outside the office we’d reported to in the middle of a pandemic, when people were throwing bricks and setting cars on fire outside, when we’d been hit with tear gas and pepper spray.”

“Over the past two years, The Post’s Video Department has been reduced from roughly 65 people to roughly 5 people. These cuts not only remove institutional and subject-area expertise, but they will make it nearly impossible for the company to do what it publicly says it wants.”

Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.

Local journalism is a public good. Local reporters tell the stories of our neighborhoods, hold the powerful accountable, and keep us informed. After scores of layoffs and coverage cuts at @washingtonpost.com, I'm dismayed to see DC at risk of losing even more local reporters. #SaveThePost
