    For those who came in late, these are the results of a conglomerate deploying in a country with exponentially stronger worker protections.

    It was always going to happen. I loved designing pages; I literally dropped out of college to become a copyeditor when it became clear there was nothing left to learn from my college paper. The number of newspaper pages I’ve designed is either in the high 5s or low 6s in terms of digits. And my exit sign from a role bearing no resemblance to what I signed up for was in November 2019. The beforetimes.

    If you are still at a media outlet, do not personally generate content and missed the last several exits … let me see if I can find a GIF.
