nymag.com/intelligencer/… Funny story. Up until this year, Wirecutter staff couldn't join NYT all hands meetings. Someone at the NYT had to stream their Google Meet video of the meeting to a Zoom that we could watch. It was often compressed to the point where we couldn't make out what was on screen.

I think about this a lot, so apologies for a bit of a story time. I came on at Wirecutter super early, and stayed longer than most (when I left I was the longest serving full timer, or there abouts) I never would have been hired at post-acquisition WC. My background was too wobbly, I'd never done anything big name, just some guy who knew a bit about cameras and had spent some time in the blog mines.

Don't cross the picket line! Skip @wirecutter on their biggest days of the year to show them that it's the workers who matter! Take that money that you felt morally weird spending on BF sales due to the way Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon all treat their workers, and instead pitch in to support @wirecutterunion workers who need to make up the lost income gofundme.com/f/support-stri…
