OSHA’s letter was delivered alongside *five citations* for failure to report injuries, in response to complaints filed by members of the #STL8 Organizing Committee last July about AmCare's abuse and neglect.

It’s out! I started work on my first and last WIRED feature three years ago. It’s about space law, satellite constellations, colonization, and a team of young women from Zimbabwe https://t.co/DNFAuZxGPp

Solidarity with my former @condeunion colleagues fighting the good fight!

I’ve been laid off from WIRED. I’ve worked here for almost a decade in a bunch of different roles—reporter, culture editor, digital editor, news editor. It’s hard to be leaving such an incredible team.

In her new book "The Algorithm," @HilkeSchellmann reveals how #AI hiring systems can perpetuate #bias and violate non-discrimination laws, and what job applicants can do about it, explains @caitharr

I was one of the many affected by the recent layoffs at @WIRED. baby's first media layoff! I joined WIRED when I was 22, and I was very lucky to land at a place where I was given so much room to grow as a journalist.

[Caitlin Harrington @caitharr]

@Scandalous @WIRED Thank you, Jennifer!

[Caitlin Harrington @caitharr]

I’m so grateful to all the workers who trusted me to tell their stories @WIRED these past few years. It’s been an honor and a thrill. I learned from the best and got to write about dogged union fights, donor-conceived family reunions, employees grappling with layoffs, and more.

[Caitlin Harrington @caitharr]

@lapiaenrose Aw, thanks, Pia. Your brilliance made all our stories better.

[Caitlin Harrington @caitharr]

@tnewmstweet @teamcoworker Thanks, Tim! Hope we can work together again soon.

[Gideon Lichfield 🇺🇦🌻 @glichfield]

Here's a not-yet-complete thread of the people laid off at @WIRED. I was proud to have them as colleagues. My thoughts are with all of them, as well as those left behind to pick up the pieces. It's been a brutal year in the news business...🧵 https://t.co/9VILpVfKrA

[Caitlin Harrington @caitharr]

@aallington @WIRED Thanks for your kind words, Adam!

[Caitlin Harrington @caitharr]

@jjeilenberg And Jon is an absolute legend.

[Khari Johnson @kharijohnson]

Welp @WIRED laid me off alongside a bunch of other talented people, and on the way out the door I want to appreciate some stories that I was proud to write while reporting on how AI can harm people, accelerate inequality, violate human rights, and threaten society. A thread 🧵:

[Meg Marco @meghann]

Personal news, as they say, but not the happy kind. Just want to thank the wonderful @WIRED crew. It was an honor. Hiring managers, please snap up my colleagues who are also impacted. Absolutely brilliant, kind, funny journalists who welcomed me warmly to the WIRED family. 🫡

[Tania González @TaniaGlezAZ]

🧵Unfortunately, I was part of the layoffs at WIRED with many very talented colleagues.

Under my leadership during these 3 years, we increased social video views by +501% and reached over one million followers in TikTok in a year and a half…

[Camille Bromley @chameauleon]

Sad to say I'm leaving @WIRED after what feels like just a blip. It was a fun blip, and spent in the company of truly great colleagues. And of course, I loved the stories I got to publish, the big ones and the small wacky ones—and all from writers I count myself lucky to know.

[Michelle Legro @michellelegro]

I'm sorry to say that after two years at @WIRED I've been laid off along with many of my beloved and talented colleagues.

I'm so grateful to have worked with journalists and editors who are the very best at what they do, and I am truly going to miss them.

[Gregory Barber @GregoryJBarber]

I'm no longer @WIRED. I was the luckiest to land there out of college and have freedom to build beats and write big features on a truly boggling array of topics.

Excited for what's next. For now, that's freelancing (unless this industry magically starts hiring)...
