Congress Harassment 'Still Rampant' 10 Years After Reforms

Instead, they describe a workplace where inappropriate behavior remains common. One former staff member called the environment a "minefield," noting that many victims still fear speaking up because of potential career damage. The reforms, designed to simplify the complaint process, have not stopped the misconduct, according to multiple current and former congressional employees.
