![]() I wonder which media outlet would like to be the first to hire her?įelicia Sonmez has quite the history when it comes to trashing other people: there’s a long article in Reason about her destruction of a journalist named Jonathan Kaiman. Well, now she can move on to the next venue. It is a great workplace *for them.* The system is working *for them.* What about for everyone else? The General Assignment team? The Morning Mix team? The newsletter researchers?” “Of course the Washington Post is a great workplace. “They are all white – They are among the highest-paid employees in the newsroom, making double and even triple what some other National desk reporters are making, particularly journalists of color – They are among the ‘stars’ who ‘get away with murder’ on social media,” Sonmez tweeted. But I do know that the reporters who issued synchronized tweets this week downplaying the Post’s workplace issues have a few things in common with each other,” Sonmez wrote during a lengthy Twitter thread. “I don’t know who the colleagues anonymously disparaging me in media reports are. On Thursday, Sonmez took a flamethrower to fellow staffers in another lengthy series of tweets, attacking those who had posted recent, strikingly similar messages of support for their paper. It’s a bit confusing, because looking at her photos I’d say that Sonmez is also white, but I guess she gets points for accusing others of white privilege – isn’t that the way it works? Although perhaps, going by her last name, Sonmez may actually be Hispanic, which would make her a POC by definition no matter what her appearance? I can’t keep up. You can catch up here if you’d like, and today Sonmez has finally been fired from the WaPo.Īpparently she overplayed her hand when she accused other WaPo reporters – who had tweeted support for the paper and said it’s a nice place to work – of being way too white and too privileged. I can’t say that it’s been number one on my dance card, either, but it’s actually an interesting example of workplace enmity and its uses. You can be totally forgiven if you haven’t followed the woker-than-woke shenanigans of victim-card-playing Felicia Sonmez of the WaPo. (Is that a mixed metaphor? Can a viper get the boot?)
