weaver fired like 80% of the sanders campaign staffers weeks before ca primary, so they could spend more money on tv ads in california, for a race that was already lost. most of the staffers found out from news reports before the actual campaign told them they were fired. which is a big reason why so many sanders staffers still hate him

to be fair they got severance, but this was the story that came out on the night of new england primaries: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/08/us/politics/bernie-sanders-staff-cuts.html quote:UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Senator Bernie Sanders plans to lay off at least half of his campaign staff Wednesday as his battered presidential bid continues despite Hillary Clinton’s being declared the presumptive Democratic nominee, two people close to the campaign said Tuesday. this was the first the staffers being laid off heard about it. somewhere on my old computer there's a recording of the "welp you're all fired" call that happened in the late evening the next day, but it's not very interesting. but there are definitely still a lot of sore feelings over how it was handled.

Pinterest Mom posted:That's from California in June~ Whoops wrong article, now I'm on my phone. They did leak to media first because I remember talking to a couple Sanders staffers who had no idea if it was true, and one guy who was so mad about it he was like "do you want to listen to the layoff call." Even after the call it was not know immediately who was losing their jobs.
