Bustle plans 'major site relaunch' after layoffs: Report

FOX Business' Charlie Gasparino, Neil Cavuto, Connell McShane and democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov and Fox Business senior editor Charles Brady discuss how Gen X-ers are finding it more difficult to move up in their jobs as baby boomers put off retirement.

Bustle is reportedly planning “a major site relaunch” after eliminating several positions this week.

The women-focused web publication’s parent company, Bustle Digital Group, plans to announce “several marquee hires” ahead of the relaunch early next year, Variety reported. A company spokesperson said BDG recently hired dozens of writers and editors for its various websites, which include Elite Daily and Mic.

The eliminated positions this week include movies editor, senior books editor, associate entertainment news editor and celebrity and entertainment news editor. Several freelance writers were also cut, and at least 10 people lost their jobs, according to the report.
