Android Central ‘will continue’ despite laying off its staff
尽管裁撤了全体员工,Android Central 仍将“继续运营”
The Android-focused blog is still publishing posts even though all of its full-time staff were cut. 这家专注于 Android 系统的博客尽管裁撤了所有全职员工,但目前仍在发布文章。
Android Central, a blog focused on the Android ecosystem, laid off its staff yesterday, but owner Future confirms to The Verge that the site will continue publishing. 专注于 Android 生态系统的博客 Android Central 昨日裁撤了其员工,但其所有者 Future 向 The Verge 证实,该网站将继续发布内容。
Yesterday, four of the six staffers on Android Central’s staff page posted publicly about the layoffs, including Shruti Shekar, Derrek Lee, Harish Jonnalagadda, and Nicholas Sutrich, and former senior editor Namerah Saud Fatmi updated her LinkedIn to indicate that her tenure at Android Central had ended. Both Lee, the site’s managing editor, and Sutrich confirmed that all remaining staff were laid off. 昨天,Android Central 员工页面上的六名员工中有四人公开了裁员消息,其中包括 Shruti Shekar、Derrek Lee、Harish Jonnalagadda 和 Nicholas Sutrich;前高级编辑 Namerah Saud Fatmi 也更新了她的领英(LinkedIn)状态,表示她在 Android Central 的任期已经结束。该网站的执行编辑 Lee 和 Sutrich 均证实,所有剩余员工均已被解雇。
The former staffers weren’t told whether the site would shut down. Today, new posts have been published to the site, though they are from the site’s freelance contributors rather than the previous full-time staffers. 这些前员工并未被告知网站是否会关闭。今天,网站上已经发布了新的文章,不过这些内容是由该网站的自由撰稿人而非此前的全职员工所撰写。
“Future will continue to publish Android Central. We’ll share further information about the future of the site in due course,” Future spokesperson Nicole Martineau tells The Verge, adding: “We will not be providing any further comment at this time.” Future 发言人 Nicole Martineau 向 The Verge 表示:“Future 将继续运营 Android Central。我们将在适当的时候分享关于该网站未来的更多信息。”她补充道:“目前我们不会提供任何进一步的评论。”

Valnet, which owns Android Police and previously purchased The Verge’s sister site Polygon, didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. 另一家专注于 Android 的博客 Android Police 最近也裁掉了至少两名员工。该网站目前列出的编辑团队共有四人。拥有 Android Police 并曾收购 The Verge 姐妹网站 Polygon 的 Valnet 公司,未立即回复置评请求。
