It looks like some more journalists are going to have to learn to code. As Twitchy reported, Condé Nast announced on Monday that it was folding Teen Vogue, which one reporter said had "distinguished itself during the 2010s as an envelope-pushing source of social-justice reporting on politics," into Vogue, laying off staffers.
We don't even know why they needed staffers; we checked Teen Vogue's X timeline and counted 12 reposts of their "Everything You Should Know About Karl Marx" story before getting tired and giving up. Why not just keep republishing the same stories?
Max Tani, media editor at Semafor, reported on Thursday that journalists from The New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit had been fired after complaining to human resources about the layoffs at Teen Vogue.
New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired.

During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later that day.…
Excuse our ignorance, but what was the Nancy Mace airport story last week? Now we may never know.

It sounds like they fired the 4 people who made an aggressive disruption at work. Only 1 of the 4 is even a current union leader

Conde Nast doesn't have any obligation to keep publishing an unprofitable magazine. The entitlement is unreal. I would fire them too
Good. Now they can get on food stamps. Oops.

"Employees who were fired included ideological activists who pretended to be journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit."

Teen Vogue was absolute woke garbage.

Not only did they push the teachings of Marx on 13-year-olds … they also wrote about sleep being racist, how to make your menstrual blood even more magical through witchcraft, published a guide to anal sex, and let young girls know that yes, abortion can be funny.
“Journalists” LOL
