It’s clear to us that management doesn’t have anything resembling a coherent plan forward other than to union-bust and passively fire our members. We won’t allow that to happen.

Along with that, another wave of enforced RTO is putting more of our remote members in the impossible position—uproot their lives with little notice or be forced out.

Just days ago we were told by @CondeNast management about the health of the company, that while it’s a challenging time for the media, it’s not a particularly scary time for us. So why MORE layoffs?

More than 130 of Stan, Roger, and Anna's employees showed up yesterday hoping to meet with their executives. The execs never RSVPed no, instead they stood us up. But we spent the time productively without them, and they will be hearing about the results of the meeting soon.

It did not. Our questions were not fully answered, and Roger and Stan's employees want to hear directly from their execs about issues that impact their work and lives. We hope to see them at tomorrow's Town Hall.

As our members continue to receive RTO ultimatums (move to NY or lose your job), get their ADA requests denied, and struggle with empty roles remaining unfilled, this meeting proves especially important. If Stan and Roger don't attend, we'll post our questions for them instead.

We will soon be inviting Roger and his co-execs to attend a union Town Hall to answer their employees’ questions in a more focused setting. We will get the answers we deserve.

Watching our well-paid executives perform this story as they deny our disability-accommodation requests and force us to move to the country’s most expensive city or lose our jobs adds insult to injury.

Instead, the company spent 10 minutes of the 40-minute meeting recreating Epicurious’s viral Squid Games video with CEO Roger Lynch and other members of management. Squid Games is a story about life-threatening wealth inequality.
