This kind of corporate arrogance from Conde Nast is making me rethink my paid subscriptions to WIred, ArsTechnica, and the New Yorker.

Condé Nast abruptly fires 4 staffers after HR confrontation

The firings were an unsubtle message to its employee union that the publisher was taking a harder line in its dealings with employees.

@dangillmor Their behaviour is the reason why now instead of going to @arstechnica daily, I'll ho maybe once a week; or if there's a Beth Mole article, I never fail to read those.

But yeah, Conde Nast management can go take a hike, we'll see where they land on the next Nuremberg trials

@dangillmor Made me rethink mine. I just subscribed to Wired a couple months ago. Cancelled it after reading this. When it asked why I gave 'em this link.

@dangillmor it didnt take decades of sucking down propaganda and biased reporting for me to abandon those establishment publications, but Im hopeful that lately, since the propaganda is SO fucking overt, more people will join me.

Im not sure how many of my accounts Ive blocked you from, for all your prior nonsense, but Im glad I got to see this one. Go further - why just think about killing those subscriptions?

@dangillmor My difficulty with that is that the journalists at Ars Technica and Wired are doing such good work, and yes, their owner is terrible.

@dangillmor I can't. The work #Wired reporters do is too important.
