      I appreciate the NYT listening to its employees, especially people of color, & suggesting the work culture will change. In that spirit, let me tell how many live in fear of the "Bret Stephens Policy." So many have been contacted by editors because Brett has whined or complained.

      This is so common there's now a community of us writers & editors whom Bret has narced on bc he was upset they were critical of one of his many terrible takes. We usually get contacted by a high ranking editor & given a warning or told to be mindful of the social media policy 2/

      He has even emailed the masthead complaining about fellow editors or writers. As a result many walk on eggshells when it comes to him. There's a simmering resentment and feelings of a very real double standard. People fear for their jobs so remain quiet. This is not just a few 3/

          A writer who recently joined told me during the orientation and social media overview there was a carve out dedicated to Bret Stephens. I'm saying this because so many people want to but were afraid to go on record. I've never met the man and have nothing again him personally. 4/

          But if we are serious about changing the work culture then this has to be addressed. So many have wanted to speak out on the record but are afraid for their jobs. That tells you everything you need to know. I respect my editors and writers and love writing pieces for the NYT. 5/

          There are so many good writers and reporters and editors there who really care and put in the time and effort and listen. It's important for you all to know that.

          Writers and journalists have now messaged me saying this thread was "brave." No, I should have spoken out earlier. I am not salaried like others. If I lose opportunities, so be it. Still, I hope it leads to change ACROSS the media landscape. People are tired.

          Update: I want people to know I have received support for this thread from NYT editors and writers. People are listening and want to be part of the change.

          Final Update: to the numerous people who have messaged asking what will happen? We assume nothing but remain hopeful & want to be proven wrong. To those who asked, why is there such a consistent double standard for him & others? The answer: No one knows. No one understands it.

          Has Bret ever made the accusation that the words in your editorial constituted an act of physical violence against him?
