I talked to Condé Nast people this week about the ongoing conflict at One World Trade Center between employees who support Israel and those who side with Palestinians in Gaza—and the company’s human resources department that, by all accounts, has been pretty feckless amid an utterly impossible situation. C.E.O. Roger Lynch, chief people officer Stan Duncan, and chief communications officer Danielle Carrig have each been involved in multiple conversations with employees regarding their frustrations, but this internal dynamic seeped outside due to a Semafor piece that was published on Sunday. The story, written by Max Tani, noted that D.E.I. chief Yashica Olden quit this past summer following accusations of antisemitism—in particular, some comments she made in passing to Jewish employees, including expressing reticence about sending a Holocaust Memorial Day email last year. (Although it’s my understanding that Duncan was also concerned about sending the note.)
