Wrong Chang.
Could be wrong itās been known to happen (often) but i donāt think so. David Chang has been talking about his time with Lucky Peach on several podcasts. Seems that is what @Nemroz is referring too. But correct me if Iām wrong
Seems to be a little changfusion here:
David Chang - Lucky Peach
Andrea Chang - LA Times

Iām not sure why they donāt just fire her. If I had turned a blind eye to that kind of nonsense at my workplace, Iād be kicked to the curb.

In a well-functioning workplace, I could see a middle manager mishandling complaints as grounds for termination.
But based on how conditions at LA Times had been described, Iām willing to be more charitable to anyone not holding actual power. Itās not like A. Chang or any other person was keeping some kind of secret at work, or had anywhere to direct complaints. Everybody knew how bad conditions were, and the consequences of speaking up.
I havenāt read any indication of anyone adding to Meehanās abuse, just a bunch of people keeping their heads down (and probably sending out resumes into a collapsing market). Even the people in the āinā clique describe how scary and tenuous their situation was. Iām glad it all blew up, and I hope that everybody eventually recovers from the damage.
