Merrill says she didn't make the title of the op-ed, so that's why the first one was changed.

Editors have final say over the titles of articles, not the authors.

What happened is that the WaPo Op-Ed editor created the first title. Then Merrill -being part of an "old money" white DC family - pulled strings and complained to Fred Hiatt that it's too threatening. Even though she directly threatens her employees in her article! They then swapped out with a new title, which clearly was meant to bury the lede.

The damage is already done from a legal perspective. That article was a dumpster fire of liability. I'm sure her attorneys will be getting paid good money to work all weekend.  [/quote]

I wouldn’t be shocked if DOL takes a hard look at their classification of employees / contractors, since this CEO just said, in writing, to the world, that she can change your employee status if you want to work from home.

Inherited wealth means you get to continually fail upward and hold others' lives in your hands, like pawns on a chessboard. This is what happens when people inherit their way into the C-suite.

Any smart, wealthy family turns over the reins to professional managers who can maximize growth and profitability. You think the Mars, Wrigley, or Walton family heirs are managing their respective companies? No, they are counting checks and leave the bean counting to professionals, all while maintaining control of their companies. Their heirs will do the same for generations so long as they are smart enough to not touch the principle.[/quote]

she's a small niche magazine CEO, that's traditionally the kind of position the idle rich use to amuse themselves. For her sake, I hope she's in that category rather than needing the magazine to turn a profit [/quote]
