I've already addressed this in my initial post.

She was offered an extension on her contract. Thus, her own job status
was secure for at least another 13 weeks. That's nothing but
encouraging for a just-hired writer on Late Night. She didn't complain
about the actual work she did, and, as I first posted, her job status
was already rather high up there in the first place. She wasn't going
anywhere further within the show for some time, if ever, based on (1)
her rookie status and (2) the fact that writers didn't ordinarily
advance to executive positions.
There's nothing in her current complaint that even hints of her job
being threatened in any way whatsoever.
Nothing that involved other staffers had any relevance to Nell's
position on the show.
Perhaps she has more dirt to dish, but until she does, what she's
presented doesn't constitute a "hostile work environment."
