A Washington Post town hall on Wednesday went off the rails as publisher Fred Ryan refused to take questions from employees and accused them of turning the event into a “grievance session.”

Employees tried asking Ryan questions but he quickly shut them down and walked away following his presentation, according to a video shared by Post national correspondent Annie Gowen.

“We’re not going to turn the town hall into a grievance session,” said Ryan. “I’m sorry, thank you.”

“It’s not a grievance session, it’s a question,” replied the employee who attempted to ask Ryan a question. Gowen’s video didn’t show what question was asked.
