The cuts to the Arc XP division, which produces a cloud-based publishing software for nearly 2,000 customers, angered some representatives of the Post’s union.
In a statement, a spokeswoman for The Post described the layoffs as “organizational changes” intended to support the unit’s future growth “by focusing on the areas most critical to our customers and the market.”
The move angered representatives of the Post’s union, who argued that the dismissals, executed quietly, contradicted the company’s reassurances earlier this year that it would avoid more layoffs in 2023. The Post launched Arc XP in 2015 with the support of owner Jeff Bezos and a goal to diversify revenue beyond the company’s traditional news products. With nearly 2,000 customers and 250 employees, it reportedly has earned $40 million to $50 million a year.
