"In one recent Zoom call, writers even complained to Mr. Remnick of their fears of being bullied on Twitter if they diverge from union talking points." god i am so glad i left that place in the end - where you can get a pulitzer but not health insurance nytimes.com/2021/06/13/bus…
all power to the @newyorkerunion for working to change the magazine from a place that chews people up and spits them out for chump change and calls it collegiality
i will always remember david remnick laughing about the unionization during my exit interview and explaining that we simply didnt understand how generous condé nast was to the magazine
things i also remember: sobbing in my boss's office after my divorce because i was trying to get reclassified as an employee not a subcontractor (while working 40+hr/wk) so i could have health insurance. the managing editor emailing my boss bc i tweeted about vibrators. etc
so telling that so much of the anti union sentiment is about "needing to earn your place" at a magazine where theres this vague culture of silent WASPy fear and absolutely no clear guidelines about anything
its like a haunted ass library that underpays its staffers so egregiously you cant even imagine
