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 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.
