Heads up, the headline is kind of misleading. “Going sleeper” is just their internal slang for getting laid off. It doesn’t mean some kind of protest or activism.
The headline is stupid ... It basically says Geek Squad is laid off after getting laid off
Journalism is basically beyond saving at this point...
Exactly. They wanted to highlight the dumb “sleeper” line for some reason, even though it’s probably the least newsworthy part of the message. “Geek Squad faces huge layoffs, members call it ‘going sleeper’” is much clearer but still a waste of time and space.
By today's journalism standards, you are ready for Chief Editor!
I’m very good at wasting time and space effectively.
Hey I just downed a big bag of sour gummies and popcorn watching movies at home... If I keep this up I'll challenge anyone for more wasted space!
Shine on, lazy diamond.
