@LAUSDSup Somehow, this never happened when I wrote about the #LAUSD music repair shop, well before the @latimes won its #Oscar for "The Last Repair Shop." Very happy for the incredible, deserving folks at the shop. https://t.co/DKJW7tjLDP

@mattdpearce Matt, I remember when you were a whippersnapper of a Mizzou grad covering a tornado for us as a stringer, and we all thought, "This kid has a future!" Apparently, you did, and - going out on a limb here - still do. It was an honor working with you; I'm eager to see what's next.

[Stuart Leavenworth 💥 @sleavenworth]

Hire this guy, @jservantez . He exceptional.

[Mitchell Landsberg @LATlands]

@ErikHW1 I’m so sorry to hear this, Erik. You didn’t deserve to be laid off, and you certainly didn’t deserve to be treated so cavalierly (which, in this case, is a fancy word for shitty).

[Mitchell Landsberg @LATlands]

@suhaunah It’s not just the racism, although that’s bad enough. There’s a wanton cruelty and absence of humanity in these responses. Have people always been this heartless? (Sadly, the answer is probably yes. We just didn’t always know it.)

[Abby Sewell @sewella]

Photo editors and newsroom hiring managers: Hire this woman! She's a great photographer and even better person. I don't know what the @latimes was thinking.

[Lara Korte @lara_korte]

Strong endorse. Hire @JeongPark52!

[Rebecca Aguilar (on Blue Sky & LinkedIn) @RebeccaAguilar]

@leilamillersays @latimes I'm so sorry to hear this, Leila. It's awful and you -- and everyone else whose lost their jobs today -- deserved far, far better.

[Elvia Limón @elvialimon]

[James Queally @JamesQueallyLAT]

Friends, I am trying to help collect journalism/comms/research job postings for colleagues impacted by the L.A. Times layoffs today. Some of you have sent some my way, but please send more!

[Patt "Bluechecked" Morrison @pattmlatimes]

Oh my. @francineorr , one of the most sensitive, talented photographers ever to work at the @latimes , a @PulitzerPrizes finalist with the compassionate eye of Dorothea Lange, has been laid off. This was her latest feature. Somebody, hire this woman. https://t.co/piivoak4iQ

[Chris Megerian @ChrisMegerian]

I spent ten years at the @latimes, with the last four in the D.C. bureau. @erinblogan and @cmsub are fantastic journalists and wonderful colleagues. Hire them as fast as you can.

[Jean Guerrero @jeanguerre]

I’ve been laid off from my job as a columnist for the LA Times today, with 100 of my best colleagues. It’s a dark day. I was the only Latina columnist for the opinion desk. Trump is looming & I���m author of Hatemonger. If you're hiring, I’m at [email protected]

[Sarah Parvini (سارا) @sarahparvini]

I’m looking for my next opportunity in writing and editing, or in communications broadly. I have more than a decade of experience in journalism, know a thing or two about building things from scratch and I love working on teams. Preferably in gaming but open to any good fit:

[Mitchell Landsberg @LATlands]

I haven’t posted here in a long time, but I can’t stay silent while an institution I love is destroyed. I’m heartbroken for my former @latimes colleagues who lost their livelihood today. ⁦@drpatrick⁩, you can’t cut your way to profitability. https://t.co/KniiDRSn0Z

[Alan Zarembo @AlanZarembo]

We just posted two dream jobs covering the American West.https://t.co/FcfvTF8bck
