So if the workplace really was toxic, leave. Resign and find something else. Does not make sense why you would want to stay there putting yourself through that.

This kind of thinking is why nothing changes. Why should she suffer from the racists?

Exactly (except the racists line, again only one side has been presented as is usually the case with social media posts), if someone’s mental state is so fragile to seriously be suicidal (taking that line at face value), why would you stay? What is more important, your mental health or something else?

Not always easy if you’re a young journo trying to get a foot in the door. Opportunities in media are not easy to come by I imagine even with youth on your side.

She shouldn’t, but I’ll bet if she escalated the problem that would be the preferred option from the orgs point of view (even if it wasn’t directly said)

Cool but I was replying to the guy saying she should just leave a job cause of racists

Mr Savvides said on his appointment: "It’s a great honour to have the opportunity to chair SBS.
