Woke up in a lovely bed and breakfast today on a lovely vacation to find out a place I've loved to work for just over a decade has been dismembered in minutes.
Just wanted to join the chorus to say that I've been let go from Vox Media on May Day, along with a great team doing great stuff.

By now you've probably heard the news: Polygon has been sold to Valnet and I, along with most of my wonderful colleagues, have been laid off.
That said, I'm now open to new opportunities! If you've enjoyed my work and would like to work together in any capacity, please feel to hit me up via my DMs!

Julia will never say this so I’ll say it for her: when I worked for Polygon, she was responsible for not just the biggest Polygon article, but the NUMBER 1 MOST CLICKED ARTICLE ON ALL OF VOX MEDIA. She was single-handedly paying all of our salaries. Hire Julia.
crawling back to bsky to pasta this from my twitter:
just like my coworkers, i've been laid off from polygon after it got sold (and now gutted i guess)
obvs if you need a guides writer who loves organization, spreadsheets, and comes with all her own equipment, let me know!
also hire my coworkers

Anyway, I need to go around saving some of my clips and also I would like an ego boost because I frankly feel shitty SO if you have a favorite story of mine, please thread it here so the process of going through and picking some to download isn't so overwhelming/lonely ahaha
I know this says something about the state of games media, but Polygon had a superb entertainment desk too!! We were tiny but mighty and we did some stories that I am super proud of and it's been an honor to work alongside them and apparently i cant tag them all bc im running out of characters but

Just woke up to this news, need to be a little more awake to fully process it, but the people I worked with at Polygon are some of the most kind, insightful, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Support them wherever they end up. Also, fuck whoever made this decision.

ugh I hope nobody leaks one of these to a reporter! especially not one with Signal, such as meganfarokhmanesh.76, at a publication with great policies for protecting sources, like WIRED
The coolest part about games media layoffs is how all the severance packages now include an NDA requiring laid off employees to stay silent about the layoff, further suppressing reporting on the same corporate behaviours those outlets likely cover when it’s dame devs/publishers.
