Video footage shows Condé Nast employees confronting the company's head of human resources—part of an incident that management characterized as "extreme misconduct" leading to four unionized staffers' firings, a framing which their union rejects.

I hope this backfires spectacularly on Condé Nast
Condé Nast has been a terrible employer for a long time.
Remember. HR is there to protect the company first and foremost. Helping employees is lower down in the list .
They didn’t think we’d all start fighting back.
Somebody needs to let them know you don’t have “the right” to catch senior management in the hall outside their office and demand answers to your questions.
If the questions had been “when are you fixing the 30th floor toilet Stan” or “When are we getting Snickers in the vending machines Stan” we’d be flabbergasted that anybody thought that was the right time or place to ask Stan those questions.
Just because the questions have more weight than candy bar brands in the vending machine doesn’t mean an informal Q&A in the hall is the right venue.
Conde Nast can be a shitty company and these people can be out of line – the two are not mutually exclusive.
This was a dumbass tactic by the union and frustrating to watch as someone who thinks conde leadership has been despicable for many years
“aggressive and threatening”? sure, jan
The video released has what looks like security camaras on the ceiling. If the union is leaving out key info, release a fuller unedited video and prove it.
