Re: That Bon Appetit episode of Reply All I talked about a while ago:
Hosts of Popular ‘Reply All’ Podcast Exit Amid ControversyHe noted the power of “Reply All” within Gimlet, as it’s the company’s biggest show, but given the hosts’ close ties to management, they found out about the union effort and were not happy about it. So the “Reply All” hosts allegedly proceeded to use their influence “as a cudgel against our efforts at voluntary recognition,” Eddings said, holding anti-union meetings and sending purportedly “harassing messages” to those on the union’s organizing committee.
Eddings said he attempted to speak with Vogt directly about diversity issues at Gimlet and his own experiences as an employee of color, including an instance when someone in senior leadership told him he seemed “too angry” for the company to work with him on diversity issues. Eddings said Vogt “didn’t comment on the diversity part, but made sure to tell me I had in fact seemed angry.”
Sruthi was involved with the anti-union and anti-diversity stuff, too. Amazing she thought she’d commit harm, then get credit for reporting on very similar harm.
