VICE DISMISSES EDITORIAL TEAM IN BRAZIL

Company undergoes global restructuring and will work through freelancers

Vice, one of the main journalism brands aimed at young people, decided to reduce activities in Brazil, dismissing the entire editorial team. Now, the content will be done through specific hires, without a fixed team, or by Vice professionals in other countries that will come to Brazil, in addition to the translation of content from other countries.

The country is not the only one where the brand is reducing its activities. A global restructuring will make the company only in four countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico and a country in Asia.

The company has 30 offices in 26 countries.

(Update: The column had confirmed the information on the end of Vice in Brazil with professionals dismissed today. According to Fernanda de Lamare, director of the company, Vice will remain in Brazil, but without hired journalists. The text was rewritten for clarity.)

Vice Media Cuts 155 Staffers in New Round of Layoffs
https://www.thewrap.com/vice-media-cuts-155-staffers-in-new-round-of-layoffs/ (https://archive.vn/ufPW9)

Vice Media has laid off roughly 155 employees, according to a Friday memo from CEO Nancy Dubuc.

The memo, reviewed by TheWrap, said 55 of the cuts will be domestic and around 100 will be from overseas divisions.

“While I often have to talk about ‘the business,’ we all know that VICE Media Group is so much more than just a business. It’s our community. It’s our voice. It’s a reason to remain resolutely hopeful in this time,” Dubuc said in the memo.

She wrote that by eliminating open roles and reassigning existing staffers to the “growing news division” that will give global sites a separate “Vice World News Section,” the company was “able to preserve approximately 90% of the roles in the digital organization.”

“The reality is that some tough decisions had to be made primarily around our digital teams,” Dubuc wrote. “Currently, our digital organization accounts for around 50% of our headcount costs, but only brings in about 21% of our revenue. Looking at our business holistically, this imbalance needed to be addressed for the long-term health of our company.”

In April, Vice pushed back on a Wall Street Journal report citing leaked documents that suggested the company would see 300 layoffs in the coming weeks. At the end of March, Vice cut salaries for some employees, shortened employee workweeks and halted 401k contributions as the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the American economy and, thus, digital advertising revenue.

It really sucks how bad Vice has gotten. I remember being blown away by their reporting in the Congo and Mali on the conflicts happening there.

The last time it was relevant to anything was when Gavin McInness was still there, as much of a lolcow as he is himself.

I might have to switch to Joey Ramone's version, but it's uptempo and over too quick and you just can't savor the moment.

He had to do it really quick though because he only had three minutes before he died of cancer.
 
I'm not entirely caught up on the backstory. Vice Media is owned by a whole mess of shareholders, including Disney, Soros Fund Management, and TPG Capital. Presumably they, like nearly every other news media organ in the world right now, were bleeding cash.

Who was keeping them afloat this long, and why did they decide to pull the plug. Do we know?

... what is the fucking point in that exactly? That's like going to a Zoo without any animals, and then when the people find some, they only use them once and then release them back into the wild till next time.

It makes zero sense from a business standpoint, but from the standpoint of being a cultural imperialist you have to fight for every inch of ground you can. Hold that front line, keyboard warrior.
 
What a strange article:
The country is not the only one where the brand is reducing its activities. A global restructuring will make the company only in four countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico and a country in Asia.

Just "a country" in Asia. Some country or other. We're not going to tell you which one, and fuck that country in particular.

So a bunch of useless cunts is confused as to why a bunch of useless cunts would get fired. Maybe they should do some investigative journalism or something. Lol.

Gosh, it's almost as if your pussy union has no actual collective bargaining power or something. Now where on earth did Vice get the impression they could immediately fire your useless cohorts with no repercussions because there's hundreds of thousands just like them ready to work freelance to replace you if you ever feel stupid enough to actually walk off the job on a strike?

Also, it's such a delight to hear them squeal.
