American Express Publishing: No Way Out

American Express Publishing—the owner of rich-people mags Travel + Leisure and Food & Wine, plus really rich person travel mag Departures—has a diabolical plan to keep all of its employees safely within its corporate confines. When employees in-house go to the Conde Nast website and click on "careers," they don't end up here. Instead, says a staffer, "Amex Publishing goes all China on your ass and just redirects you to Amex Pub's own career page. It took us all a while of playing with it to realize that it wasn't a glitch on Conde's website, but rather the fact that our own company was fucking with us." You are so owned.
