I've been reading WSJ since the mid-80's and still subscribe. Was happy to see this response by them.

Good for them. The leftist maggots will never subscribe to them, anyway, but they might gain quite a few fair minded, centrist, and conservative subscribers. It's a win win for them.

My error. That 280 out of figure should have included employees of Dow Jones & Company, which has the same owners and has 12,300 employees who also contributed to that number, so it’s 280 out of 19,300. A ratio of malcontents like that isn’t exactly monumental despite the media’s attempts to spin it into a mass uprising.

It had to be kinda hard for 1.45% of the staff to make their case in the face of the relative misery that the owners and managers of New York Times have been going through for the past several years. Losing one's stock in trade (broadscale credibility) and hemmorhaging money just couldn't have been that much of a turn-on.
