Conde is apparently holding a company-wide Town Hall right now and are planning to conduct internal "studies" about diversity and pay equity - then will take action "by "the end of the summer. Thanks so much to all! Gets right to the root of the problem! Enjoy Block Island!
Roger Lynch, CEO, just told staff re: pay and diversity "truthfully, if these concerns had been brought up earlier, we could have dealt with them sooner.”
“Truthfully” is almost always a tell. Even at its face, what he said makes me think that a company that size never soliciting employee feedback via survey or maybe even exit interviews says a whole lot about them, none of it good.
To be clearer - and, to me, it's no worse than what was said verbatim - Lynch's direct quote is in @maxwelltani's tweet. Still implies CN was unaware of issues (false) & puts it on employees to use internal channels they know don't help them to speak outhttps://twitter.com/maxwelltani/status/1270387287105441796 …
so.....they just gonna release a statement publicly yesterday that they pay everyone fairly and then privately say “we didn’t know it was an issue”
“You should have ignored the implicit threat that we would fire anyone who spoke up & spoken up anyway - so we could have fired you & then just said you were bitter bc you were fired. I have to get back to my golf game now.”
Maybe, but in some cases "dealt with them sooner" might have meant "figure out a way to marginalize the complainers or force them out"
More likely, it means "lower everyone else's wages, and then blame the marginalized people."
In the single town hall meeting I attended with Lynch, several junior staffers (from BA and Allure) brought up a lack of diversity and inclusion efforts. They were insistent and hard to miss. I asked something utterly forgettable about brand mundanity across titles.
Conde Nast CEO: “hey it’s not my fault that we pay minority less, it’s THEIR fault for not speaking by up while we knowingly pay them less”. Slow clap 
what an amazing way to absolve responsibility and shove the blame on BIPOC.
Lemme segue this smoothly. Talking about companies being half assed in diversity dept. Here’s a list of leading advertisers on Fox, and some of them even publicly posts that they are with BLM and against hate speech https://twitter.com/sub_okita/status/1269096316497354752?s=21 …https://twitter.com/sub_okita/status/1269096316497354752 …
