(6,342 posts)I remember the Abramson and NYT stuff. But from what I've read there was a lot of friction with a lot of the top brass in the organization. That alone isn't uncommon in the corporate and management world. Personalities clash and people have arguments. Male executives get pushed out too for stupid reasons at many companies.
It's frequently noted that a certain predecessor or male employee was making a bigger pension. But I believe it was discovered that he had been working at the Times much longer than Abramson. And the Times had recently cut pay and pension benefits to all new employees before Abramson got there. Which is something unfortunately many corporations are doing over the past several years with everyone.
Does that mean gender played no role at all? No. I don't know the situation well enough to rule it out. But I see no evidence of it right now.
