This will be interesting. Laid-off Pitchfork and Wired staffers are barred from freelancing for @CondeNast pubs. There’s an #IStandWithCondeContracted protest campaign. They’re all about to learn the meaning of #WhatTheHellDOL and #FightForFreelancers thehill.com/opinion/444156…

I support laid off writers from Pitchfork and Wired who are being unfairly prevented from writing for @CondeNast #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

Conde Nast disallowing laid-off Pitchfork and Wired workers from freelancing for any Conde pubs is absurd and totally counterintuitive—these are some of the best writers and editors in media, what is the point of this policy? #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

freelancers shouldn’t be dismissed ESPECIALLY if they were former staff members that were exploited during their employment #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

still disgusted w @CondeNast for banning laid off employees from freelancing. rancid and heartless #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

to lay off your workers and bar them from from freelancing for ANY of your brands as one of the biggest publishing houses in the world is so evil, esp when it wasn’t the workers making bad biz decisions in the first place @CondeNast #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

After laying off whole teams of insanely talented writers at #P4KWired, Conde is now barring anyone from those publications to freelance to ANY Conde publication for an unspecified period. This eliminates a possible source of income for those writers. #IStandWithCondeContracted

@CondeNast you guys are 🗑️ A lot of journalists I know have shared their thoughts in much more eloquent ways… But I mainly wanna say plainly that you disgust me #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

if you laid off writers &arent paying them you have no right to police where they try to make a living. in the words of Pimp C its never too late to stop being a bitch @CondeNast #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

dear @CondeNast, while you're out not allowing laid off employees to freelance for any of your brands, we're all subscribing to their substacks and taking our clicks and attention elsewhere. dinosaurs die. blacklist at your own peril ☄️🦕✌️ #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

Big surprise that @CondeNast is a soulless corporation who fired writers from @pitchfork and are now preventing them from doing freelance work for various other publications. #IStandWithCondeContracted

extremely uncool of @CondeNast to screw over the laid-off workers at @pitchfork and @WIRED by refusing to allow them to freelance for any of its brands!! every penny counts when you suddenly lose your livelihood; this is just nasty behavior #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

let workers work! let people write! let people earn the money they need to survive post layoff! you're lucky to even count them as former employees! #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

Ludicrous, petty and pointlessly myopic of @CondeNast to bar laid-off staff from freelancing for its titles. These are some of the most brilliant minds in the game. The company should be doing backflips to keep them in work #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

I support laid off writers from Pitchfork and Wired who are being unfairly prevented from writing for @CondeNast #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

I support all the laid-off writers from Pitchfork and Wired who are being unfairly prevented from writing for any other @CondeNast publications. Just absolutely cruel and unjust #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired

#IStandWithCondeContracted

It’s senseless and incensing that my remarkable former colleagues who were cruelly laid off from Pitchfork not only can’t contribute to the publication *they* made great, but to any Condé verticals. We sure could use them at The New Yorker #IStandWithCondeContracted #P4KWired
