Kamala Harris aide says in resignation letter: 'I've never seen staff treated so poorly'

An aide to Sen. Kamala Harris blasted the treatment of staff on the California Democrat's presidential campaign in a resignation letter this month.

"This is my third presidential campaign and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly," wrote state operations director Kelly Mehlenbacher in the Nov. 11 letter, which was obtained by The New York Times.

"While I still believe that Senator Harris is the strongest candidate to win in the General Election in 2020, I no longer have confidence in our campaign or its leadership," she added.

She wrote that the way staff was treated during the past two weeks was "the final straw in this very difficult decision."

"It is not acceptable to me that we encouraged people to move from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore only to lay them off with no notice, with no plan for the campaign, and without thoughtful consideration of the personal consequences to them or the consequences that their absence would have on the remaining staff," Mehlenbacher's letter said. "It is unacceptable that we would lay off anyone that we hired only weeks earlier. It is unacceptable that with less than 90 days until Iowa we still do not have a real plan to win.

"Our campaign For the People is made up of diverse talent which is being squandered by indecision and a 'lack of leaders who will lead,'" it continued.

Of course Kalama Zoo treats her staff like dirt.

She is descended from slaveholders, after all.

If her gripe is only that people were laid off in various ways, were laid off soon after relocating, were laid off without notice — hey, Bitch, welcome to the real world. This happens in corporate America every single day. When I was in a high tech environment, I’ve seen people laid off a month after relocating from overseas due to a RIF.

Now, if her problem is having ash trays thrown at them, being verbally abused, etc., then that’s another story. (One of my bosses threw a sandwich at his secretary because it didn’t have mustard or mayo — can’t remember which — on it as he ordered.) That’s Clinton Country, and the gripe is legitimate.

She’s a whiner just like the witnesses in Schiff’s hearings whose little feelings were hurt. Get over it and move on.

I’ve had some good ones too. But I’ve seen the other type too - the proverbial mother-in-law type from hell.

Within moments, an observant person can see that Harris has that “I’m a queen” attitude.

I have no doubt she’s an insufferable, dismissive know-it-all, and a nightmare to work for.

If she’s the strongest candidate to win in 2020, then the Democrats are doomed:E)
