So I hear The Washington Post is a collegial workplace. Image
These tweets falsely accusing me of “clout chasing,” “bullying,” “cruelty” and directing an “eager mob” to carry out “a barrage online abuse” are still up … even after I repeatedly raised them to management and noted that I’ve been receiving threats and abuse.

Collegial! ImageImageImageImage

Emily Yoffe has a history of unethical professional behavior, and her actions have caused significant harm. I am sad angry to see that has done so once again. You should not have had to go through this, @SleepyOktobur. 1/
A lengthy correction request I wrote in 2019 after Yoffe and Reason Magazine published an error-ridden piece about my sexual assault: 2/
More on my experience with Yoffe and the red flags raised by her behavior — including an email in which she said she “loved” the details of a woman’s alleged assault. Ms. Yoffe also told her editor that the incident proved women get a “thrill” out of accusing their attackers. 3/

This piece is a sparkling example of how *not* to write about sexual misconduct allegations.

It leaves out a host of key facts and context, including the full scope of the public allegations and Díaz’s own contradictory statements on the matter. 1/x
One person not mentioned by @semaforben in his piece is Alisa Rivera, who wrote that, after an interaction in which Díaz used a racial slur against her,

“Junot grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of my seat and into his lap, wrapping his arms around my waist.” 2/x
In her 2018 piece, Rivera said that she, like Díaz, was raped as a child.

She noted that “when you’ve suffered a great harm, you have a moral choice to make” — and that Díaz “made the wrong choice.” 3/x therumpus.net/2018/05/15/eno…

I stand by what I wrote in that email. In 2018, I was punished after I told my editors I needed to take a walk around the block after reading a difficult story.

Other colleagues have been punished for their trauma far more recently, but their stories aren’t mine to tell. 1/
I’m not “discouraging reporters at the Post from seeking help they need.”

Far from it.

The Washington Post’s own actions are doing that. 2/
I care deeply about my colleagues, and I want this institution to provide support for all employees.

Right now, the Post is a place where many of us fear our trauma will be used against us, based on the company’s past actions. 3/

Is this the culture that the Post says it wants to foster?

In her email to the newsroom on Sunday, here is what @SallyBuzbee wrote:
As the Post’s own internal report on social media use shows, employees have raised various issues—not related to Dave Weigel—with leadership and Human Resources, and they have not been addressed “promptly and firmly.” 20/x
Another example from @PostGuild’s recent, must-read report on working conditions at the Post: 21/x

In early 2020, @stevenjay and @loriamontgomery, then the Post’s National and deputy National editors, commissioned an internal report on social media use in response to newsroom-wide outrage over my suspension.

Two years later, nothing has changed. 1/x int.nyt.com/data/documenth…
The report, spearheaded by now-National editor @mateagold, was based on interviews with more than 50 of my talented colleagues on The Washington Post’s National desk. It was the result of weeks of hard work by 9 of my colleagues. I was among those interviewed for the report. 2/x
Among its findings: “Reporters use social media as an outlet when they feel their voice isn’t heard in the newsroom.” 3/x

Simply objecting to a retweet of a sexist joke — and a colleague’s false accusation of “bullying” — leads to … this.
And this.
And this.
