The Onion Staff to Go on Strike Wednesday Barring 11th Hour Deal
The Onion Staff to Go on Strike Wednesday Barring 11th Hour Deal
“We do not take the decision to go on an open-ended ULP strike lightly, but we have to take a stand for what is just,” the guild says
Can't wait for the Onion article covering this news!
But I'm guessing we will have to.
In solidarity.
The guild is seeking contracts that include staffer protections in the event of the sale of the company, improved severance offerings, and basic protections from AI.
In other words they've noticed that a bunch of greedy venture capitalists bought them and aren't gonna let 'em just liquidate/automate their jobs for a quick buck.
They're also probably feeling a bit paranoid after watching Hard-Drive have the same thing happen.
Damn, I didn't know Hard-Drive died. Anyone know good alternatives?
Well, have you considered switching to solid state?
... I'll show myself out.
Is this the onion? Or not the onion? Or not not the onion?
On r/nottheonion this would be removed as "not oniony".
It's got layers.
Which makes it the most onion-y.
Onion't
Oniain’t
(wormhole opens up)
Wait. Is it a joke or… I feel trapped into the Opposite Day loop here.
Wait, what? $44 milion in revenue? Thats peanuts for company this size, isn't it?
I'm assuming that's just revenue from The Onion, although the wording on it leaves much to be desired.
I used to love The Onion so much. Then the state of affairs got so bad that The crap coming out of the government was worse than the stuff they made up. I get PTSD tics now wearing that someone in the government is going to take notes.
Onion also got bought out a couple times. The new videos are low effort crap; nothing like the superb clips from 10-15 years ago, which is probably the best satire ever created.
I'm honestly kind of shocked they survived the Trump administration. Could you imagine trying to outbid the government for crazy during those years?
their tiktok videos are pretty good as it makes fun of the typical tiktok videos, but peak onion may never be reached again
Literally the Onion
Their picket signs are going to be next level
They should negotiate bonuses for writers who predict the future.

a bit late, eh?
jokes onyou
They used to be good
Well the world got so crazy they realized their material can't keep up anymore
Oh no! Anyway
They turned boomer and make jokes about wokeness now, so who cares.
I haven't seen that... linky?
it's not really true, they just want to pretend to hate everything

Honestly seems like something from Babylon Bee.
You uh… you realize they’re all satirists… right?
I think it's funny that they're doing comedy like this, that supports ridiculous right wing notions of politics... Issues designed to distract and mock rather than using humour for a purpose, and now they're...
checks notes
Having trouble with getting basic benefits within their workplace. Huh, maybe they should have stuck to the left a bit more.
Well someone has to make fun of the wokeness. Otherwise we won't evolve as a species.
Man the onion has always had some bad boomery takes. They get some good jabs in time to time but they are enlightened centrist epitomized.
