Don’t worry HuffPost journalists, you'll soon be able to get jobs building solar panels in the new Biden economy!

Andrew Kloster
@ARKloster
Everyone should mass report these accounts for fake profiles since many say they are huffpo reporters, when they are in fact unemployed

Ryan Long's previous videos about Vice bloggers being laid off are worth watching again.

This recent one's really good.

53 >>"HuffPost employees, after working for a year under a pandemic. . ."

I'm going to guess that a lot of their work comprised:

A. COVID fear porn

B. Criticizing people unemployed and losing their businesses due to lockdowns for wanting the lockdowns to end, schools to open, mask requirements dropped

The only sad part of this story is that it didn;t happen the day after the election.

55 I've never been laid off, but I've been at companies where they've happened. It is not fun being on either side in those situations (one side is worse, obviously).

Although I'm generally a smartass by nature, I don't take pleasure in someone being laid off... I always fear I'll be next.

So instead I will patiently wait for Bonhomme's well-timed ammo posts. Those are always appreciated!

I've been there, done that, hated my life and everyone else's.

The "leaders" in such companies have literally no idea how to be leaders or to manage or even to be just human. It's incredible.

Millennials just don't .. do .. normal, traditional, professional and polite things, a lot of the time. It's amazing to watch it play out.

I worked for a company that shrank from 28,000 to 6,500 over a 4-year period - and the ones who got let go were the lucky ones. I was also laid-off at the age of 41 with 30-days notice and zero severance.

But because I worked for The War Machine in both instances assholes like HuffPo "Journalists" celebrated my struggles.

I'm not bitter about it. But I'm not going to deny myself some well-earned Schadenfreude, either.

124 the work environment reality in prog-leaning tech and/or media companies (and there is SIGNIFICANT overlap there) is honestly HELL ON EARTH.

I've been there, done that, hated my life and everyone else's.

The "leaders" in such companies have literally no idea how to be leaders or to manage or even to be just human. It's incredible.
Posted by: BlackOrchid at March 09, 2021 03:37 PM (j9HX3)

If their social media postings are to be believed, from the pictures it's clear most management in these companies is either gamma males or women. You should never ever give a gamma male any significant or mission critical role and certainly never allow them to manage others.

And, sorry ladies, but I've seen too many female managers in tech settings who were, in a word, dreadful. And miserable (to the point that most would quit to go back to being worker-bees).

I've been through a layoff onsite, and they had shutdown the computer system, so when you came in, everyone was just sitting at their desk wondering if they would be called into the boss' office next to be laid off. All you could do was wait and share your condolensces with thise who were packing up their desks.

When forced, I usually leave the premises, but that has only happened once. I live in the unincorporated area in Northwest Houston, TX.

HuffPo exists to push the American Left's agenda. Why the hell did they even have a Canadian office? American journalists get *all* their stories directly from their State Department and White House handlers, per Ben Rhodes. Moreover, even if they didn't, virtually nothing of top-line importance happens in Canada. That's not a dig against Canada; that's a nice thing, overall. But it seems weird for them to have a Canadian bureau at all, let alone a special one for Quebec.

The best manager I ever had was a woman. So was the worst. In my experience, good managers recognize there are two different skill sets at play in their role (the work the team is involved in, and managing the team), and are able to strike a balance. Those that stray to far to one side or the other are the worst managers.

Posted by: WitchDoktor at March

WitchDoktor,
Some of your pawn shops that handle firearms or gunsmiths offer consignment sales. Put a decent price on them in this environment and they will sell. The FFL handles the paperwork and background checks if any. The only downside is that you will have to fill out a 4473 and undergo a background check to get any of them back if they do not sell. Pawnshops or gunstores will also give you lowball offers if you want to sell now. Some pawnshops also sell online through gunbroker.

Some online sellers like Budsgunshop, etc. will also buy guns but that generally requires a more substantial number for them to bother with shipping, etc. Not so much an issue if you live in a state with one, JG Sales in Prescott, AZ, Kittery Trading Post in ME, Adventure Outdoors, ATL,GA, Birmingham Pistol Warehouse near Birmingham, IL, Simpson's Ltd in IL, and a few others. Pick up a Gun Digest magazine and a lot of these dealers take out ads in it.

Cabelas is another place that did buy used firearms.

Lawyers want to lawyer, not manage other lawyers or staff. I've worked for a lot a women lawyers though, and I actually kind of preferred them.

LTC? "WILL PROSELYTIZE FOR FOOD"

Nah, I'll bet these Klown Kar Kids could make more money than at HuffPo by signing-up to sponsor and board two or three illegal kids from Joe's Kindness Kamps. There must be a variety of scam programs started six weeks ago by DHS, to pay a lot of bucks to people who take-in an unaccompanied border jumper from Honduras or other southern locales.

The only unbreakable rule when you get the kids is raising them to be more crazy than AOC. That's easy - just take the Fed money and send the kids to a Fed-sponsored free day care center and/or public school. Pure profit since the money paid to sponsors will be non-taxable.

You know, it used to be "Women and Children first" in a crisis, because women were so important because they procreated and carried on the human race. And children because they literally ARE the future.
Now we have people who tell other people that their "career" (ie, serving me to make my life better) is more important.
Having a child (if you are willing to devote the time and effort to raising them, which is kinda hard) is the most important thing most of us will ever do.
I have done a lot of things in my life, but my two sons are my proudest achievement.

The problem I've seen with female managers is that they want to be the boss, but they want to be friends, too.

In being the boss, they think they're emulating typical men by being Patton-style managers, but then also want to be friends (little realizing that the men who are Patton-style managers don't give a flying Philadelphia about being friends).

So they wobble between being really hard-nosed and ruthless, and then being mushy, with one approach undercutting the other. Uproar and mutiny inevitably ensue from that approach.

Can't have it both ways, gals. Ideally, you're reasonable and fair across the board, but if not, then either be hard-nosed or mushy, but not both.

460 These Buzzfeed layoffs don't need to learn to code or install solar panels -- There are PLENTY of opportunities for aspiring journalists, especially such "Incomparable reporters" as these.

With this lousy mainstream media, it is a golden age for independent journalism, as tens of millions of people are curious to find out what is actually going on in the world.

Michael Yon, Andy Ngo, Michael Tracy, Tim Poole have kept busy. That Marginally Compelling guy has a full time (coding) job, yet still cranks out well-researched newsletters on COVID.

This would require that these Buzzfeed alumi actually, er, practice journalism -- go out, ask questions, fact check, and so on, rather than regurgitate vapidly rewritten press releases and steal each other's listicles. There is that. They might even have to move beyond the twenty square miles of the northeastern metropolis.

But there are questions to be asked! Stones to be overturned! Get to it, Buzzfeed alumni!

Related: this year Columbia is having separate graduations for blacks, native americans, LGBTs, immigrants, and a few other groups. Segregation is BACK, baby.

Return to segregation? This is the proof that a true Civil War is coming to America.
A CW is simply an extension to the next level of this mind set.
But it is what the America-haters want, those living in China and the Mid-East, and those that live in the expensive homes of the coastal and blue city elites.

462 I believe he enjoys greater approval from the Democrats than the Republicans in Maryland.

This! Hogan is an idiot. If I wanted a democrat I would have voted for that idiot Brown.

463 One should always keep in mind that in real estate it's location, location location.

In the media it's narrative, narrative narrative.

464 Oh dear, I confused HuffPost with Buzzfeed.

465 Meanwhile, HuffPo has at least 8 articles on Harry and Megan on its front page.

468 I have survived 3 layoffs and believe it or not I think the ones who go in the first round are the lucky ones. Yes you lose your jobs, but the ones who are left have your work plus there own. Also rarely are any bad managers fired in that first round, so suddenly you have lots of backstabbing going on to prove your worthfullness to a company that is going to probably not exist in 3 years.

469 I thought HuffPo reporters weren't paid anything. That you did it just for the credential. Maybe that's just commentators.

As I put it, those who want us to think of ourselves as members of ethnic groups and not as Americans should not be surprised with the results when the largest ethnic group starts to think of itself by its ethnicity. It is not going to work out the way they think it is.

That being said, I don't think we're headed for a big CW2 -- or as rhomboid also put it, it's already started. It is a low intensity conflict that IMO will largely be confined to major urban areas and college campuses. It will heat up again soon; the Biden-Harris steal put a damper on the festivities that were planned for the end of 2020. But I think the George Floyd verdict will be a perfect excuse for them to fire it up again.

471 Didn't the relief package pay hospitals $35000 per covid death?

So there was an incentive. Besides saving money on continuing care.

Somebody ask Gavin Newsom what he thinks. He's a smart cookie about the 'rona politics.
