A deluge of anonymous Instagram posts is pulling back the curtain on the ugly secrets of how the Hill treats its most vulnerable workers
Discrimination is illegal under the Congressional Accountability Act, but many staff who face day-to-day microaggressions — and worse — from colleagues and bosses don’t see the arduous official complaint process as an option, and they doubt the results would be worth the process. Junior staff across the Hill are much more diverse than the senior ranks, where power is concentrated and wages are higher.
A third former Hill aide described submitting to the account out of a desire to deter others from doing"exactly what I did and stumble into an office that does not represent them, and does not share their values, and does not exemplify what they want their career to be like.” Lawmakers are aware of employee complaints, and staffers say it’s particularly disheartening when their bosses support political policies that aren’t consistent with the way their offices are run.
Multiple current and former chiefs of staff, however, told POLITICO they have gotten little or no formal management training and had to pick up skills on the job. The Modernization panel is organizing opportunities for supervisory staff to receive management training on topics like cultural competency and building inclusive workplace culture — issues that have dominated posts from junior staffers of color on Dear White Staffers.
