Gawker Jalopnik Shuts Down Budapest Bureau, Kicks Mate Petrany Out

Gawker Jalopnik (er... whoever) has abruptly shut down its "Budapest Office" and kicked Mate Petrany out without warning, logging them all out of all accounts.

More on that later. pic.twitter.com/hxJ3QaM46E

Gawker's Budapest editorial team was fired today, which means I no longer work for the company, meaning @Jalopnik . Thanks.

Hey, Jalops, what's going on?

I mean of course Mate Petrany (who?) is quite the pillar of automotive journalism (probably not) but still how about observing the requirements of applicable employment laws and providing required notice, severance pay, etc.? Huh?

Petrany, if I were you I'd sue the bastards for another half million and break their back good.

I also call on all Jalop hacks umm... writers to go on strike or something.

Remember, today Petrany tomorrow you!
