This story hails from the walls of The Wa Post, where one retweet caused a  <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/06\/03\/washington-post-writer-slams-colleague-for-retweeting-sexist-joke\/\"> staff meltdown <\/a>  that got very ugly on Twitter. <\/p>\n<p> It wasn&#8217;t the particular worst joke. Long-time politics reporter for the publication, Sawzag Weigel,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/washington-post-david-weigel-apologizes-retweet-sexist-tweet\/\"> retweeted a joke <\/a>  that some over presently there found deplorable. YouTube sponsor Cam Harless tweeted, &#8220;Every girl is bi. You simply have to figure out if it&#8217;s polar or sexual. &#8221; Yes, not the worst issue to say or tweet, however it caused so much of an issue it led to Weigel apologizing (via  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/washington-post-reporter-calls-out-employer-colleague-tweet-mocking-women-paper-responds\"> Fox News <\/a> ): <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p> Wa Post&#8217;s Chief Communications Official Kris Coratti told Sibel News, &#8220;Editors have made crystal clear to the staff that the twitter update was reprehensible and challenging language or actions like this will not be tolerated. &#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Weigel also taken out the retweet from their Twitter page and released an apology. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I just removed the retweet of an offensive laugh. I apologize and did not suggest to cause any damage, &#8221; Weigel wrote. <\/p>\n<p> Harless, the original writer of the tweet, reacted in order to Weigel&#8217;s apology, writing, &#8220;it\u2019s weird to see someone else apologize for something you messaged, &#8221; also calling this &#8220;grim af. &#8221; <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> It obtained so bad that the paper&#8217;s executive editor had to consider in (via  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/online\/wapo-editor-admonishes-staff-to-treat-each-other-with-respect-as-kindness-as-numerous-messy-feuds-play-out-on-twitter\/\"> Mediaite <\/a> ): <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p> Right after several days of various Wa Post staffers dragging inner feuds into the public sq . of Twitter, Executive Publisher Sally Buzbee sent the memo to Post staff admonishing them to \u201ctreat each other along with respect and kindness. \u201d And of course, because we reside in the year 2022 and that unfortunately seems to be how things function, Buzbee\u2019s missive spawned recently tweeted vitriolic spats. <\/p>\n<p> [\u2026] <\/p>\n<p> Weigel\u2019s friend Felicia Sonmez took the screenshot of Weigel\u2019s retweet and posted it upon Friday with the comment, \u201cFantastic to work at a news store where retweets like this are usually allowed! \u201d <\/p>\n<p> [\u2026] <\/p>\n<p> CNN\u2019s Oliver Darcy reported Kelly\u2019s statement Fri and added that there have been an internal conversation about Weigel\u2019s retweet on the Post\u2019s inner Slack channel, with nationwide editor Matea Gold considering in. <\/p>\n<p> [\u2026] <\/p>\n<p> Another Post reporter, Jose Del Real, replied in order to Sonmez\u2019s tweet with 2 tweets of his own, recognizing that Weigel\u2019s retweet has been \u201cterrible and unacceptable, \u201d but urging her to simply accept his apology instead of \u201crallying the internet to attack your pet for a mistake he produced, \u201d which \u201cdoesn\u2019t really solve anything. \u201d <\/p>\n<p> \u201cFelicia, we all screw up from time to time, \u201d Del Genuine wrote. \u201cEngaging in recurring and targeted public nuisance of a colleague is none a good look nor could it be particularly effective. It transforms the language of inclusivity straight into clout chasing and lovato. I don\u2019t think this is appropriate\u2026There is such a thing as difficult with compassion. \u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> Yeah, this sure sounds like a joy to operate there, huh? <\/p>\n<figure> <\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get some popcorn for this show of internal blood sports activities in the workplace.
