Condé Nast employees confronting HR chief – Screencap of Twitter/X video.
A group of employees at publisher Condé Nast recently decided to confront their human resources chief because they are upset about some recent layoffs.
These entitled workers apparently thought they could protest their way into getting what they want. Instead, four of them got fired.
The company made a mistake here. They should have fired all of them.

Watch the Condé Nast Staffers-HR Confrontation That Led to 4 Firings
Condé Nast editorial staff confronted the company’s head of HR over layoffs and followed him down a hallway while he directed them to go back to work but did not appear to exhibit “extreme misconduct” as claimed by the company, according to video obtained exclusively by TheWrap.
TheWrap obtained two clips of the Wednesday afternoon episode in the hallway outside Condé Nast chief people officer Stan Duncan’s 34th-floor office at Manhattan’s 1 World Trade Center, where about 20 editorial staffers in the Condé United union tried to speak with him about the layoffs. Duncan declined to engage, leading to a tense interaction.
Condé Nast fired four of the employees who participated in the gathering — Jasper Lo, a senior fact checker at The New Yorker; Jake Lahut, a senior politics reporter for WIRED; Alma Avalle, a digital staffer at Bon Appétit; and Ben Dewey, a video staffer with Condé Nast Entertainment — and filed a federal complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against the union’s parent union, the NewsGuild of New York, for violating its contract.
“Extreme misconduct is unacceptable in any professional setting. This includes aggressive, disruptive, and threatening behavior of any kind,” the company said in a statement. “We have a responsibility to provide a workplace where every employee feels respected and able to do their job without harassment or intimidation. We also cannot ignore behavior that crosses the line into targeted harassment and disruption of business operations.”

This is learned behavior.
They were all taught to do this in college. Don’t like something? March up to the dean’s office and throw a tantrum as a group. Make demands. Film it. Publicly shame them into compliance.
This is how progressive workplaces have been run for a decade. https://t.co/P7kreLeoPs

Man, it’s all there isn’t it? The entitlement, the “you make us come to work 4 days a week.” Are you all satisfied? But Trump.
Firing people for this kind of hecktoring should have happened 5 years ago. https://t.co/7FaYjhFzcC
