Matt Kiser / @matt_kiser: I mean I love this idea if the independents also get access to company benefits and perks, like health care, retirement match, PTO, as well as the boring stuff, like accounting and a customer service backstop... perhaps even some economies of scale on the infrastructure side too? https://twitter.com/...

@thedailybeast: EXCLUSIVE: “Screaming outbursts” and “demeaning behavior” are the norm at TheWrap, according to 20 current and former staffers of the news outlet. They spoke to The Daily Beast about a toxic environment and culture of fear under Sharon Waxman's leadership. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
@doctorjonpaul: While I appreciate y'all calling out these terrible people in media, these stories alway feel moot because they never go anywhere. They will always have a job. They will forever have networks that support them and protect them. But I digress. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: Since our story came out yesterday, I've seen quite a few former Wrap staffers publicly share their own horrible experiences with Waxman. Furthermore, I've received private messages from many ex-employees we didn't interview expressing gratitude that we reported this story. https://twitter.com/...
Kathia Woods / @kathia_woods: I keep saying this many of these outlets seem like Nirvana but your better off freelancing and she stressing folks for 30k a year. I rather work at Walmart during Christmas 🙄 https://twitter.com/...
Elisa Tapia / @elisat: I worked at the Wrap for three weeks back at the end of 2017. I cried almost every day I was there. I was blamed for not being able to handle Sharon's demanding work environment. Exit interview was a fucking joke. Worst job ever I had. https://twitter.com/...
Josh Sternberg / @joshsternberg: Unfortunately this is not uncommon with trade media CEOs https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...

Scott Weinberg / @scottemovienerd: behavior like this is never acceptable, and doubly so when the job is, um, movie blogger. https://twitter.com/...

Chriscreama Warren / @film_girl: Never worked for Waxman but I've heard these stories for years. I'm OK with occasional yelling in a newsroom (I've never yelled at subordinates but will cop to yelling at my bosses), but this is just too much. Especially when the pay is that bad. https://twitter.com/...
Rituparna Chatterjee / @masalabai: Brought back bleak memories. It rained all night & Kingsway Camp was under water.

@kerrymflynn: Finally read this whole piece on work culture at The Wrap. I don't feel comfortable sharing details, but I'll just say I directly heard Sharon's terrorizing by being adjacent to a prospective future employee and it still shakes me to this day https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Steve Krakauer / @stevekrak: The Daily Beast is such trash. They got exactly zero people to go on the record with this gossipy nothing of a story, trashing a rival site's founder. Journalistic malpractice. https://twitter.com/...

Phil Pirrello / @philpirrello: Having briefly worked at her site in 2014, the only constant other than the turnover is Sharon and her toxic everything. And the promise she makes here to do better?

Brent Lang / @brentalang: I left #TheWrap 7 years ago and worked with fabulous people there and learned a ton. But this @thedailybeast article perfectly captures the culture of cruelty that Sharon Waxman created. My sympathies continue to be with her over-worked, underpaid staff. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Saba Hamedy / @saba_h: Wow this whole story. Also what?? —> “The situation, sources familiar said, has been made more frustrating by the fact that Waxman's ex-husband serves as TheWrap's human-resources department, leaving some employees feeling as though they have no safe place to turn.” https://twitter.com/...
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: EXCLUSIVE from me and @dianafalzone 20 current and former staffers of TheWrap told us that Sharon Waxman is a tyrannical boss who has cultivated a toxic workplace and a culture of fear, causing workers to flee and current employees looking to the exits. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Bruno Dias' Severed Head / @notbrunoagain: one horror of capitalism that isn't talked about enough is the way the workplace becomes a vehicle for the worst unreconstructed narcissists to abuse people at scale, rarely with any repercussions, thanks to the near-total power employers have over workers https://twitter.com/...
Julia Moser / @juliamoserrrr: Every time I read one of these stories I am just baffled by the generations of people who think there is *any* acceptable reason to scream at a coworker in a field where no one's life is at stake. https://twitter.com/...
