What I was not prepared for was the prevailing culture of fear, the extremely hierarchical structure, and the dysfunctional nature of management

Seems pretty concrete allegations to me

On average, more than 30 percent of those surveyed at that time said they had experienced or witnessed harassment at the agency. "[The] figures do give sufficient cause for concern to suggest that they should be addressed promptly," the report's authors stated.

Yeah, there's a lot of very concrete stuff like: When they sought more information, Alex said that contractors would sometimes be put down and shouted at in meetings. At the same time, the manager obsessed with what the workers were doing, sometimes messaging them more than 10 times a day.
