Hey all, I’ve been seeing comments about some of the Jalopnik writers being fired. Anyone have the details? Specifically I’m curious about who may have been left go.

None of the main writers yet. So far it is just Tyler from Foxtrot Alpha who left of his own accord and Sean from Lanesplitter who was let go.

That stinks, because Sean had a bunch of good posts. Hope he finds better work elsewhere.

Huh? Tyler left Foxtrot Alpha to work for The Drive. That’s the only change I’m aware of. Raph seems to have disappeared (from Twitter as well) in the last week and a half, but it could just be vacation.

I may be alone in thinking this, but I’m glad Foxtrot Alpha is gone. I’m interested in cars, not HNG LOOK AT THIS MACHINE WE MADE FOR KILLING PEOPLE WE DON’T LIKE HNG THE TROOPS.

Looking for a job?

I don’t think they have much of a payroll right now.

Uh... Foxtrot Alpha isn’t going anywhere.

WTF? Lanesplitter was one of the few things that kept me sticking around here.

I’m into a lot of military vehicles (planes, ships, aircraft carriers, tanks, etc). But in fairness I would be equally into those vehicles if all the “kill” bits were removed. De-weaponize a B-1 and it’s still just about the coolest thing ever in my book.

I feel the same. The most amazing thing about FA was the ridiculous number of commenters who were either engineers or had direct experience with whatever was being written about. I don't know anything about military hardware, but I ate those discussions up.

Patrick has said they are looking to hire someone to replace Tyler. Who knows what happens to Lanesplitter though.

Tyler Rogoway is a good writer.

No no, just wondering. Been on Jalopnik for many many years now and just wondering what was up.
