Gawker Employees Gather For First 'Real' Company-Wide Meeting, Denton Came Off 'As A Real Hardass'

The Awl’s Choire Sicha goes inside (not really) Gawker Media’s first real company-wide meeting, held at a hotel’s screening room last night, where Nick Denton “gave a speech from the stage—just like a real grown-up company, and also totally not.”

The meeting was “alternately hilarious, exciting, boring and frightening.” Denton asked for more pageviews from everyone. He explained that a new commenting system is coming, which one writer fears will turn the site into Reddit.

The key takeaways, though: Each site’s growing, but is expected to do more.
