Condé Nast Lays Off Nearly 100 Employees, Furloughs Others

Condé Nast is laying off "just under 100" staffers in the U.S. as part of a larger cost-cutting effort at the company, CEO Roger Lynch said Wednesday morning. In a staff memo obtained by The Daily Beast's Maxwell Tani, Lynch said the cuts are concentrated in "specific areas where we could bring down our costs without limiting our growth priorities," and that the company is additionally furloughing "a similar number of people in roles that can't effectively work during this period." A Condé Nast rep did not immediately respond to a question about which areas of the company have been impacted, specifically. The news comes one month after Lynch warned employees that job eliminations were likely on the horizon due to the "substantial impact" of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's print and digital advertising business. Effective May 1, Condé Nast implemented salary cuts for all employees earning more than $100,000, ranging from 10–20% (or 50%, in Lynch's case), which he said would remain in effect through the end of September. Additionally, Lynch said the company was delaying various initiatives until 2021 in order to "reduce workloads on teams, and to focus us on immediate priorities," and was reducing the working hours "for certain roles," particularly employees who are eligible for government assistance programs. Staffers would be notified of additional actions, such as job eliminations, by the end of May, he said at the time. "To our friends and colleagues leaving the... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
