Now that Kamala Harris is apparently going to be the Democrat nominee for president, people are starting to remember what a horrible boss she is, and what a nightmare it is to work for her.  She reportedly takes an attitude of “prosecuting” her staff, and her office environment is described as “dour” and “tense.”  

Haven’t we all had a boss like this–one that overcompensates for her insecurity by being super aggressive?  In other words, someone who lacks natural authority and therefore cultivates a catty and petty attitude?  

According to Axios: 

“Much of Harris' staff has turned over in the past 3½ years… Of the 47 Harris staffers listed in 2021, only five still worked for her as of this spring.” 

Man, it must suck to work for Vice President Harris.  That staff turnover tells you something.  Meanwhile, Biden’s staff has had much less turnover, suggesting that he is a more chill person to work for.  

From Axios: 

“During Obama's first term, then-Vice President Biden had far more staff stability, as 17 of 38 of his aides stayed with him over a similar period, according to the disclosures for staff paid by the Senate.”

Karine Jean-Pierre was Harris’ chief of staff, but perhaps because of the way that Harris grills and mistreats her staff, she migrated over to the West Wing to become the White House Spokeperson.  

Meanwhile, Politico reported in 2021 that Harris’ office was “not a healthy environment.”  

So do we really want someone this unpleasant and hysterical in charge of the country? 

An Aide told Politico: 

“...she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.”

That sounds like the leadership style of someone high in neuroticism, not a steady hand at the wheel.   

Also from an aide who spoke to Politico: 

“It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s---.”

In conclusion, Harris does not really have leadership skills.  It’s not to say she isn’t intelligent–she is just really bad at managing people and no one wants to work with her.  Again, that abysmal turnover rate of her staff tells you something.
