The Washington Post is reportedly cutting 240 employees in the 'hopes of averting more difficult actions such as layoffs — a situation we are united in trying to avoid." Senior leaders will then share department specific information in meetings to follow throughout the day," the email reportedly read. This program referenced by the media outlet is a "voluntary separation package" that will be offered to employees in an effort to reduce 240 positions "across all functions of The Post." The package will be offered to employees in specific areas or with specific titles. Earlier this year, the outlet announced that it had laid off 20 newsroom employees, and would keep an additional 30 vacant roles unfilled.
