Bryan Sullivan Quoted in Los Angeles Times Article on TikTok, and Trump Administration Executive Orders’ Impact on Employees

Bryan Sullivan was recently quoted in Wendy Lee’s Los Angeles Times article ”’I am part of the collateral damage’: Trump’s TikTok battle creates nightmare for some tech workers.” In the article Wendy discusses some of the problems facing workers for the social media company, and how the recent Executive Orders can impact potential employees.
