Former employees of The Messenger, a media company, have set up a GoFundMe to support staff left without health insurance or severance after mass layoffs. The fund aims to raise $50,000 to cover living expenses for those in need as they seek new jobs. The initiative has garnered support from both former colleagues and the wider community, with organizers emphasizing the urgent need for assistance in the absence of a safety net.
AND imagine looking for a full-time job in a cutthroat media market without having any severance or healthcare from your previous multi-millionaire employer (who left you and 299 other @TheMessenger colleagues high and dry because IDK) help us♥️ https://t.co/g7IGYlRA15 https://t.co/nOW1YAqMt8

Some reporters at @TheMessenger set up a Go Fund me for staff who need help with health insurance, rent, groceries (since we were all left with no insurance or severance). If you're able to help, it would be deeply appreciated. I'm going to chip in myself. Please pass around.…
