The union’s report sheds light on the tensions left-wing media organizations face as their staff turns increasingly hostile to the management’s practices. Multiple minority staffers who spoke with the guild for its report said they found the review process "confusing and frustrating." One former staffer, a minority, said he left the Times after receiving a poor performance review despite earning verbal praise from management. Those lower performance reviews translate into meager bonuses and lost promotions, according to the union. "Management has denied the discrepancies in the performance ratings for nearly two years, time it could have instead spent trying to make the system better for everyone." "G uild members who believed their contributions weren't fairly rated in the review process have said they feel demoralized and alienated-a pernicious outcome as the Times attempts to recruit and retain a diverse workforce," the report reads. Black employees are 10 percent of the union’s membership, but contribute to nearly 18 percent of the "partially meets expectations" ratings given out by management. Zero black employees received the highest performance review rating in 2020, whereas white employees made up 90 percent of those with the top marks.
