'Painful wait': Jeff Bezos visit to Washington Post stokes fears of layoffs
|

[NYPOST] Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos paid a rare visit to the newspaper’s offices and took part in an editorial staff meeting on Thursday — igniting panic among the publication’s journalists that layoffs were imminent.
Bezos surprised staffers on Thursday morning when he showed up to the newspaper’s headquarters on K Street in the nation’s capital just weeks after publisher Fred Ryan announced looming layoffs during a stormy, chaotic all-hands meeting.
The Amazon founder’s presence in the newsroom prompted one staffer, who was dressed in a red shirt emblazoned with the insignia of the newspaper guild, to accost the billionaire and ask him directly why management was planning to lay people off rather than offer buyouts, according to multiple reports.
Bezos declined to address the matter, only saying that he was there to listen, according to the news site.
"I’m convinced this is going to be a protracted, painful wait for a lot of people," a Washington Post journalist told the Daily Beast.
The poor darlings. It makes the heart bleed, truly it does.
