  • I’m a bit disheartened by the fact that Yael Kohen is still considered a viable employee with The Wall Street Journal given the recent revelations of her behavior at Refinery29. She is a large part of the problem and to allow people like her to flourish is a signal that you believe that there was nothing wrong with her behavior and that this will all just blow over. Shame on you. Shame on you.
