DNC layoffs with no severance leave staffers scrambling, union says - WaPo
The Democratic National Committee workers' union on Monday condemned layoffs by the organization, saying permanent employees were terminated last week with one day's notice and no severance pay.
While staff jobs at campaign offices routinely end after elections, the DNC laid off permanent employees, including people who had been told their positions would continue after the election, the staff union said in a statement.
As the party reels from election losses that cost it the presidency and majorities in both congressional chambers, grapples with questions about its identity and prepares to decide who will lead it as Donald Trump returns to the White House, the layoffs inject internal turmoil into the DNC's post-election reboot. The union hinted at groomercord, alleging that people in the organization had made decisions during the campaign that "created this situation."
"The DNC's senior leadership has chosen to leave loyal staff scrambling to cover rent, medical expenses and childcare costs," the union's statement said.
The cuts were announced starting on Wednesday night and were effective Friday; and DNC leaders did not tell staff how the layoffs were determined or whether additional cuts are planned, according to the union. Those laid off included people who had been with the organization for 40 years, the union said.

Don't worry wuys, /r/politics downmarseyd it which means this isn't apart of our current reality!
Apparently layoffs happen after every election, but imagine working 40 years for the bluetards only to get kicked to the curb so Beyonce can speak for 3 mins and get $10 million and you get literally nothing but an "I Voted" sticker roll (I'm kidding, they don't even get a sticker roll).
