Essence magazine has clearly lost their grasp on the importance of the internet. According to various online reports, Essence has fired their entire online staff in an attempt to downsize and save a few coins.
“They told us it was downsizing,” says one Essence employee. “We’re very confused. We worked so hard for the relaunch.”
Another insider tells J’sticks: “This is normal practice. Companies relaunch with new [site] schemes that allow them to do more with less, then they cut staff.”
Though the lower employees on the totem pole are now in the unemployment line, Emil Wilbekin’s remains as in tact as Deputy Editor.
This economy is claiming so many of our financial lives. Let’s all pray for em’.
Side-eying the powers that B who used the web staff to rebuild the new site, and then hand them their walking papers. Ain’t no good gonna come to you Essence.
