Trump Curse..Huffington Post Starting Layoffs

HuffPost began laying off employees Thursday morning, one day after its parent company, Verizon Media, announced it would cut 7 percent of its workforce.

About 750 Verizon Media employees were expected to lose their jobs. That announcement came more than a month after Verizon took a $4.6 billion write-down on HuffPost’s parent company, Oath (now called Verizon Media), which includes AOL, Yahoo and HuffPost.

HuffPost employees began receiving calendar invitations to meet with human resources representatives Thursday morning. Many recipients assumed that meant they would be among those losing their jobs.
