More to come, but we're thrilled to announce that we've reached a tentative agreement. We're proud to bring this to our unit for ratification. β

We can think of no greater indignity than having to look employees in the eye when they are nothing more than faceless numbers representing wasted cost on a spreadsheet.

As America's Finest News Source for the past 258 years, The Onion could not have made it here without the managerial prowess of G/O Media, whose trailblazing strategy of blanketing webpages in blaring advertisements has led the digital media industry to where it stands today.

The Onion applauds its owner, G/O Media, for its many savvy business decisions that have driven away all but our most loyal readers. We prefer an audience faithful enough to go through hell and back to access our reportage.
