New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio treated his staffers poorly and often bullied them with harsh threats if they did not meet his demands, according to newly revealed emails.
"What do I need to get you guys to follow a direct order? Do you need to experience consequences?" he threatened in one 2015 email, according to the New York Post.
"I'm not raising this again: fix it, or I will [have] no choice but to find a way to penalize people. Not my preference, but I won't have my instructions ignored," he added.
The emails show de Blasio blowing up at nearly a dozen staffers for "failing to make sure phonetic versions of challenging words were included in his speeches and talking points," according tot the Post.
"This is literally the 100th time I am reminding you all that phonetic spellings require one syllable to be capitalized to indicate emphasis in pronunciation," de Blasio wrote in one furious message.
"I have no idea why you guys can't get it," he said. "All of the folks in comms, speechwriting and my personal staff who looked at these remarks — it just takes ONE to catch it."
A City Hall source told the Post that de Blasio's emails reflect how he acts in meetings and that he has been known to kick staff members out of meetings. The source went on to say that he is "condescending" and "arrogant" with a micromanaging leadership style, in which he exhibits "no confidence" in those working for him.

What a bunch of goosestepping, lockstep leftist turds.
I’ve had a lot of different jobs over the years and never would tolerate any abuse from an obnoxious boss - one job planting trees back in the 70’s had a jerk foreman who kicked me in the rear on my first day for not moving fast enough. I broke his jaw and knocked out a molar with one punch I was so furious. It was also my last day as a tree planter.
I bet he stopped doing that, especially to first day hires! Good job.
Smokem if you gottem-——Oh, wait!
