They closed down the catch and kill operation? I guess Biden winning really was the end of metoo, wasn't it.

If you read the article:

quote:

In a statement, the board called the layoffs a “major reset” needed to right the ship after the events of the last year. Multiple outlets reported over the summer that the leaders of Time’s Up—which was created in response to the #MeToo movement—had counseled then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations against him and had disparaged his accuser in text messages.

...

Staffers who spoke to The Daily Beast said they were confused why this “reset” required all of the on-the-ground staff to be laid off, while three of the organization’s highest-ranking members—its chief financial officer, chief development officer, and head of entertainment—would stay on in order to “rebuild.”

...

At one point, one staffer said, Judd began to cry, saying she was “broken-hearted” about the news.

“Mind you, she’s already put out a statement [to the Washington Post] with information that staff didn’t have access to,” the staffer said. “So keep your loving crocodile tears.”

It had already served its purpose, and had gotten a ton of bad press, so it looks like they're winding down operations to save on staff salary until they decide whether the brand name still has value, or the organization/"cause" needs to be rebranded. No need to stop paying themselves out of whatever is left/can still be collected in the interim though.
