Nexstar-owned The Hill issues pink slips
Nexstar has issued pink slips and offered buyouts to more than a dozen journalists at its political affairs publication The Hill.

Shoddy excuse 1: “Maybe it was technically a work device, provided by and owned by the employer, and she shouldn’t have used it for personal things”
Then both the employer and the tech vendors involved should have made it not only possible but easy by default for her to quarantine her personal use.
The onus for that kind of opsec should not fall to individuals. That’s just ducking accountability, the kind of cognitive outsourcing large players use to dodge the costs of running their own org.
This is basically “we don’t need to install railings on our corporate balconies; employees just need to never fall off.”
