[Valerie (Лера) Kipnis @valkipnis]

that last line really hits home.
"...was, but no longer is."
sending so much love to all my vnt pals.

[Ben Craw @ben_craw]

Today I am proud to join one of the coolest, most illustrious groups there is: people laid off by vice. My number was finally called after seven and a half years of service. Hit up your boy if you wanna pay me to help you make ill internet content.

[Nicolas-Tyrell Scott @iamntyrell]

Solidarity to everyone laid off. A very rough 24 hours with Jezebel and POPSUGAR news too.

[Alyza Enriquez @mxalyzaenriquez]

so incredibly upset that so many of my talented colleagues were laid off today—especially at a time when we need their work the most. there were many people who I looked up to and learned how to be a journalist from and I don’t really know where we go from here.

[Paul Blest @pblest]

Last line says it all. Absolutely gutted for my former coworkers.

[Annalisa Merelli @missanabeem]

So disappointing.

[Christina Sterbenz @xtinasterbenz]

I’m heartbroken and furious all over again today. Continuing to lose talent has driven this company, which once provided me with my dream job, into the ground.

[Matthew Champion @matthewchampion]

I'm very sorry for all my ex-colleagues who have lost their jobs today. I think the last line of this statement sadly captures it

[Tess Owen @misstessowen]

gutted once again by this latest round of layoffs at VICE. these are all massively talented people, many i've had the honor of working alongside for years, who put everything they had into this company.

Vice Media Making Fresh Round of Layoffs After News Shows Not Renewed, Consolidates Operations to Two Divisions https://t.co/9pfFojuKeo

[Shelly @mizshellytee]

(same statement with alt text, truncated before the last paragraph)

The end reads: "As always, VICE Union stands in solidarity with our laid off colleagues, who helped make this company what it was, but no longer is."

[Anna Merlan @annamerlan]

Today is yet another really rough day in media; dozens of my Vice colleagues are being laid off globally and we just got news that Jezebel, where I worked for years, is being shut down.

[VICE Union @viceunion]

Congrats to our VICE colleagues! Good luck tonight. #NewsEmmys #DocEmmys

[VICE Union @viceunion]

@WGAEast 👏👏👏

[Writers Guild of America East @WGAEast]

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAstrike
