WASHINGTON - U.S. Ambassador to Britain Woody Johnson has made insensitive and inappropriate comments during his tenure, including about race, religion and sex, the State Department’s inspector general has found, judging that morale in some parts of the mission has dropped.
“Offensive or derogatory comments, based on an individual’s race, color, sex, or religion, can create an offensive working environment and could potentially rise to a violation of EEO laws,” it said. The inspector-general’s office said it found that Johnson’s ‘demanding and hard-driving’ management style had a negative impact on morale in some sections of the embassy.
