G/O management's most cynical display yet comes in the middle of negotiations for our next contract.
We're heartbroken over the loss of more incredible colleagues as Spanfeller continues his race to the bottom and will continue fighting for a fair contract for those who remain.
Jim Spanfeller has fired the editorial staff of Quartz after loading it up with AI slop and selling it to a Canadian firm.
It's a new low for a company that has tried to disrespect, undermine, and exploit its newsroom at every turn.
The GMG Union is thrilled to be negotiating its next contract.
G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller waited until 2 days before the current contract expires to meet, but we couldn't be more committed to winning a fair deal for our members.
We did it last time and we'll do it again.
THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE!
Shout out to @kendricklamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

This marks the second Kotaku EIC in 7 months driven out by G/O Media’s aggressive mismanagement and Jim Spanfeller’s blatant disregard for journalism.
It is very clear that leadership wants to undermine the people who make these sites special and replace their work with slop.
This sale marks the second time in six months that G/O Media has laid off the entire unionized staff of a website and sold only its brand name. We recognize this method for what it really is: Union busting.
G/O staffers deserve better.
