Did Jalopnik fire all their writers?

They bring out the Z team on the weekends. Torch and Raph are still there but I can’t think of anyone else worth noting.

Yes, with that charming piece that encouraged everyone to shit on cars they didn't like.

Maybe it’s like my brother who was a regional manager that scheduled himself serving shifts to make more money.

Felton’s investigative work is impressive too.

At this juncture a mid-week bender gone wildly awry is still the more likely explanation?

I completely forgot about David but he has good stuff. Can’t remember the last time I read one of Andrew’s articles though.

Without Mack Hogan why even bother?

I got the impression they started rotating through weekends when they cut back on staff (especially Stef who I think was primarily racing on weekends) . Pretty sure I saw Tracy doing some weekend work last week.

Way to make it about color, maaaan

I kinda wish they'd be more more transparent. I know a ton of people rely on Jalopnik/Oppo for community as well as the writing

I’m not optimistic about the long run, but I have no inside information, just inherent pessimism.

If all colors are equal, why do some cost more?

I think the last time Jalopnik had a writer is when Murilee Martin shared material there.

How some get those positions, I will never know.

Ask VW, which incidentally was founded by Nazis.

But I don’t think VW charges extra for some colors

Yep, Jalop just featured it the other day — the Golf R has like 50 colors available at $2500 extra EACH. It was quite a spirited discussion.

You didn’t see they’re hiring again, but it’s sort of a contest.

Most recent word from Patrick is Jalopnik is healthy. The recent round of buyouts was GMG-wide. Jalopnik actually just had a job listing for a video producer recently, so it must not be that dire.

I guess. Although I feel that the content is kinda declining in a way. Maybe I’m just imagining it.

I miss how it was back in 2010
