I worked with Nico and can back all of this up.

Also, they fired me for not acting like an employee when I was a contract freelancer and then told all my co-workers that I was a thief. #CAHisover
Also, all the Black writers had to continually defend our work and that it was relevant.
Imagine having to explain why Denzel should be in the game when "Sean Connery" is in the game.

Plus, the president of CAH would come into meetings and harangue people to move their cars so he could park. Also, the worst I ever saw him do this was to a Black woman and didn't stop when people corrected him.

I was with Nico when he brought them to mediation. I was his emotional support person. They lied in front of both of us about what would happen in the office and then kicked me out because I am a "journalist" after I'd already heard all the testimony.
Because they're incompetent

Also, I would regularly get stopped in the office asking who I was, who I was with as if I couldn't work there.

And I would also get constantly mixed up with the other Black women who worked there.

Our supervisors would regularly laugh that there was no HR so who could we complain to.

I would regularly come up with a system or idea to make things better or easier.
It would be given to my white supervisor to execute and she would mess it up and I wouldn't get any credit or thanks.

It was a great place to work to learn about the insidious and corrupt nature of white feminism.

When I was fired, (at 4:52 and told to leave the conference room in front of everyone else to wait in another room) someone got me a card and had everyone sign it.
It never arrived.

I fully believe they fired another person to make it look like I wasn't being singled out.
They told me that the writers room had to be smaller. They hired multiple people weeks after I was fired and asked me to be a part-time contributor.

They hired a writers room to "diversify the game." Within a year, all of the POC except for one were fired or quit in solidarity.

Whew. I had a lot.
Oh, I forgot. When they were firing me, I said "I'm not an employee. The things you're making me do aren't something I'd need to do as a contractor." (we were all contractors)
A week after I was fired, everyone was converted to an employee.

I was basically fired for asserting that I wasn't an employee and asking how the ownership and use of content I was generating for them would be attributed.

Also, we wanted to write packs about being BIPOC and the owners refused to acknowledge that anyone other than them wrote cards so we couldn't do it.

#CAHisover
Since everyone is putting it ALL out there.
We tried to write cards calling out abusers or punching up at rape culture and we're told they would never be in the game because of the accusations against Max Temkin. We could not draw attention to that issue.

Don't let anyone who was a head writer say they didn't know. They knew and did all this shit.
Don't let the two white women who ran that writer's room say they didn't enact violence on their Black and brown subordinates.
They knew better and didn't just do nothing. They were enacting their own cruelty.

Nico is my friend; he always had my back at Cards. We spent a lot of time laughing and talking together there.
What Max Temkin, Julia Weiss, Jo Feldman, and Nick Markos did to him was incredibly cruel and humiliating. #CAHisover https://twitter.com/realnicocarter/status/1276269435892961280?s=20

Since stories starting coming about CAH, I've noticed that the people we've named and called out have gone silent. Some have locked down their twitters, others simply haven't tweeted in weeks.
Do you think they're waiting for this to all blow over?

I've also noticed that almost none of my former co-workers have reached out to me. In any way.
If they reached out b/c of this tweet, it could be their guilt so I don't know how it would feel.
I can't say I'm surprised but oh man, it's an isolating experience.
