We lost so many talented colleagues yesterday at Pineapple, people I've watched pour so much of themselves into making great work. If you're looking to hire someone who will absolutely knock their job out of the park, I'd love to make an intro ๐Ÿ’”

'First and foremost we denounce layoffs in their entirety'. I am always so impressed by these letters, each and every time they are written, and their ability to speak to the madness of living through this boom and bust. Solidarity to all of you at Pineapple โ™ฅ๏ธ

I have learned and grown so much over the last four years at Pineapple. It's hard to say goodbye. Unionize your workplace ๐Ÿ˜‡

I am one of these 12 and am honored to be in such good company. Thereโ€™s so much from the last 5 years Iโ€™m proud ofโ€” shows about risky film shoots, reviled women & miscarriages of justiceโ€” but today Iโ€™m proudest of a non-pod project: this union. Love and solidarity forever ๐Ÿ’š

'First and foremost, we denounce layoffs in their entirety; we believe this form of โ€œcost cuttingโ€ is fundamentally avoidable, and we donโ€™t think innocent, hardworking staff should ever lose their livelihoods over mismanagement at the highest levels of a company.' ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค

the thing that's getting me today is that we've normalized a system where the people responsible for economic mismanagement get rewarded and the the people absolutely furthest from that responsibility get sacked

Damn, damn, damn. The cycle of podcast/media layoffs seems never ending. And this one hits deep, since I worked with this talented crew just a few years ago. Managers: please hire these folks, they deserve better!

An awful, gut-wrenching day at Pineapple yesterday losing people who are essential to the work we make. 12 experienced and super talented producers who you'd be lucky to hire. Reach out if you have a need.
