Yeah, this part makes me the craziest. My brain is my favorite thing about me. Why would I intentionally trade it for a ridiculous substitute?

Roger is CEO. Stan is Chief People Officer (CPO). I was not referring to some unnamed other exec.

shrug, Irdk why you theorized Anna feels threatened by Teen Vogue (has been boss of TV since it was born) & did all this herself. But here we are. One last thing I'll note is that Stan the CPO is extremely powerful, has ear of Roger. There's a reason union were outside HIS office.
Have a good one.

definitely a power play against the union. Unionized team has gathered outside Roger's office before, now Stan's, etc, there was def not a lot of love for this before, but in any case: CN execs now feeling powerful enough to try stomping on the union a bit. We're in a very bad time for labor.

Doubt it all you like, but the key driver of anything any business does, and CN is no exception, is always: MONEY.
Subsequent non-vogue layoffs? lol again: it's layoff season, they cut people across functions & titles EVERY YEAR in Q4. As for the 4 people who pissed off Stan? Yeah, that's...

So I am not conflating anything. I am saying they wanted to keep Vogue's success as a way for TV to exist at all since apparently TV isn't making enough money to justify its own production costs.

I'm literally saying: Teen Voge was NOT making enough rev to justify it standing alone; it is not VOGUE that "sucks" (and btw it was that person I originally replied to, and then you started to ask me questions), Vogue does great, TV must have NOT have been making enough $, et voilá, they merge it.

And I’m telling you it BARELY changed also she’s an editorial lead and while I was impressed with her business judgment for driving growth once again: she does not run the business from a profit and loss standpoint. People have a strange notion of what she actually does.

lol as if Roger doesn’t 100 percent make these decisions.
Source: I worked there up until a couple of years ago and reported to Roger working across the c-suite. Anna doesn’t shut down or merge titles, nor does CFO on their own. This is a Roger level call, working with data from cfo & content ops.

You said if it’s not Anna trying to be weird about politics, what is the reason. And I told you: Roger looking to cuts costs and draft off his most profitable title. That said yes I forgot who said something about Vogue sucking or somehow failing. Teen Vogue must not have been making enough rev.

Also she has a history of growing Teen Vogue, promoted ppl who started on Teen Vogue into very senior positions over the years… yeah the decision to fold it is not the type of decision Anna even drives there. That is 100% Roger and whoever the latest CFO is telling them to save $$ by folding TV.

Now as to Anna Wintour, her recently hiring an EIC for Vogue is such a minor change really. She was already Chief across all titles except TNY, with EICs reporting to her; while she continued to be the EIC for Vogue. She’s only stepped back a little by having someone else take Vogues day to day.

? I’ve lost track what the point is. Vogue is huge in US market and outstrips TNY as a global title. Objectively speaking it does not “suck” in the marketplace.

Wired, GQ, Traveler etc do not enjoy nearly the success of Vogue.

It’s the other really big one. But in any case TNY always sits a little apart from rest of Condé (operationally and editorially). Vogue is absolutely central to Condé Nast.

It is overall most revenue generating and please remember their events are part of that revenue. Along with a few other rev streams outside of subs and ads. Ads still being biggest. Selling ads globally yes it’s more $. New Yorker does best on subs, can set premium prices; but has some events; and

This is layoffs time of year. CN is not profitable (had a blip during pandemic; now has been through cycles of cost cutting last 4 years). They are simply trying to reduce operating costs for EBITDA impact since they can’t grow commercial rev and consumer rev must still be floundering.

It simply is the most profitable title at Condé, alongside The New Yorker; but Vogue is global. So it’s pretty much #1 even among the tier 1 titles at Condé.
