Denton Kicks Them to The Curb

Life is fragile and the recession doesn’t help. But, when working for a millionaire you generally view your job as safe (smart boss, smart decisions). But Denton appears to be throwing the good hard workers out left and right. It’s a firesale at Gawker, anyone want in?

Oh, and by the way, they just had a rager for their new office with custom designed desks and a brand new roof deck. Awesome!

Since putting Consumerist on the block, Denton’s been making rolling layoffs at the company: project manager Cia Bernales, technical producer Jory Stiefel, and community administrator Kaila Hale-Stern all learned last night that they’d been let go. Additionally, Sangraal Aiken, a senior Java developer, has gone from “a full-time employee to a contractor paid by the hour at a reduced rate,” a source within the company says.
