some full-time freelance fuckery here

Quick, get in the car, ‘cause we’re off to drag this tweeted-out job posting from a Condé Nast site director:

So far so good, right? Who wouldn’t want to work for big daddy Condé and make glossy food content all day?

Except, lol, maybe anyone who wants a 401k? and health insurance? and all the other normal benefits that are the whole entire point of getting up in the morning 5x a week instead of, ya know, lounging around and freelancing only when we feel like it?

We don’t have to tell you guys that the media industry has always been notoriously awful at compensating entry-level positions, but this “full-time freelance” fuckery is some real oblivious stuff considering the mounting backlash against perma-lancing, overly homogeneous newsrooms (bc the type of people who can swing ^^that kind of job is a very specific type of people!), and all the latest media org layoffs. Read the room! We’re all getting sick of this!
