Duh Moment at WaPo: Fired Employees Baffled by Turned-Off Computers and Door Badges

Last week, Jeff Bezos' hemorrhaging paper, The Washington Post, laid off around 300 employees, which was about one-third of its then current staff. Of course, there was a YUGE amount of worthless fluff positions at the WaPo ... such as, Akilah Johnson, who described her own role at the WaPo as: "I was hired by The Washington Post to cover health disparities & explore the way racism & social inequality affects health. 4 months ago, I became the generations’ reporter exploring how health is experienced by different people across the life course." ...
... so, there were a ton of "reporters" at the WaPo who were richly deserving to be unemployed. However, it has been none too surprising that these newly canned derelicts and their colleagues at the other Marxist propaganda outlets HOWLED and CRIED FOUL like scalded cats. How dare Bezos decide not to continue flushing hundreds of millions of dollars down the toilet on a leftist dog like the WaPo without making some drastic changes - THEY BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE KEPT IN THE SUBSTANTIAL LIFESTYLE TO WHICH THEY WISH TO REMAIN ACCUSTOMED AND BE REVERED AND CODDLED FOR LECTURING AMERICANS ON THE VIRTUES OF MARXISM!
Proving once again that corporate media and the Left are children with fanciful delusions of how the world works, these fired WaPo employees are shocked they've been locked out of their work computers and the building. Duh! That's how it works. Normal, sensible people who have always had to worry about job security are well aware of it. The WaPo babies really think they can protest and tantrum their way out of losing their jobs.
WaPo Tech Guild (@wapotechguild) ~ Last night after working hours, our members who are being targeted for layoffs by The Washington Post were locked out of their work devices, platforms and The Post building.

Stopped by glass turnstile ... turns around ... leaves.
The🐰FOO (@PolitiBunny) ~ Yes, that's what happens when you're laid off.
sean brett (@BaconKnight) ~ These people have absolutely no idea how the world actually works and they are the ones that think they're keeping the rest of us informed.
Actually, they don't think their job is to "inform" Americans ... they think it is to tell Americans what to think.
Duffyevsky ☦ (@TheIllegit) ~ What is attempting to use their deactivated security cards and them not working to gain entrance supposed to demonstrate? Yes, you're fired. "I really dislike being fired; I have a right to work here!" However, you quite literally do not.
They should spend their time looking for a new job. That would be a better use of time.
