Just occurred to me that my fellow formerly messy friends haven’t posted anything chaotic on their finstas in a long while. We found peace, girls.✨

While the industry blames bird flu, critics are accusing the largest egg companies of price gauging.
They point to the fact that corporate profits have soared in recent months.
Over the past two days, we learned that MSNBC is starting mass layoffs of 99 of our union colleagues from at least nine different shows. This devastating news comes after the slow, painful trickle of announcements regarding a near-total overhaul of the network’s broadcast line-up. Although the Company has acknowledged that there are plenty of job openings at MSNBC, it has cruelly insisted that the workers slated for layoff must reapply for their jobs to remain employed. The MSNBC Union demands the Company not lay off any of the employees it has slated to be laid off but rather reassign them as needed. In the event that any employees are not retained, we demand the Company follow the layoff provisions of the collective bargaining agreement that it entered into with the Union.
The news of layoffs comes against the backdrop of the President of the United States making direct threats against MSNBC, among other news outlets, and at a time when it has never been more crucial to have a fully staffed newsroom to cover a democracy under attack.
We stand in solidarity with our MSNBC Union members affected by the recent mass layoffs.

Sometimes I feel like Wyna Liu effectively says, “Come on—you know! Items heavily featured in Tin Cup (1996) featuring Kevin Costner and Rene Russo! Duh! What are you, some kind of idiot dumb face numb scull?!”

We wait in line for phone pods. We hold meetings while Avicii blasts over the speakers & people eat sandwiches in the background of our Zooms. This is not professional, & it’s certainly not productive.
Join us in telling Condé that workers deserve flexibility!

Condé Nast management will start requiring employees to be in the office 4 days a week on 3/3, allegedly to make us more productive. Yet for months, many of us have gone without desks, often being forced to work from the cafeteria, HR floor or hallways.

To support our action, tell management that you’re with the union! If Condé wants productivity, employees need flexibility!

As of 3/3, @CondeNast is enforcing a 4-day Return To Office policy to enhance “productivity." This plan will have the opposite effect.
We have detail-oriented jobs that operate on tight deadlines. Condé sold office space during the pandemic, so most of us don’t have our own desks.
