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.

To wit: “trust us with your lives, hearts, and devotion ... oops, sorry, reality sucks, sorry about screwing up your lives, breaking your hearts, and betraying your devotion ... orange man bad! - trust us with your lives, hearts, and devotion ...”.

Progressivism, folks.

I keep expecting them to slip-up and refer to each other as 'Comrades'.

“ Never worked for the Clintons or the Obamas then”

It is obvious Harris fancies herself queen-like in the same vein. She is grossly unappealing on every level.

I lived in D.C. for a year - some of my coworkers commuted from further than Baltimore.

Looks like Harris and Klobuchar are in a race to see which one gets that “Queen of Hearts” title as they both are well-known to treat their staff like garbage.

this kind of back-biting and recrimination is typical of imploding campaigns on the precipice of complete collapse ...

Sheila Jackson Lee has repeatedly been cited as the worst person in Congress to work for by her own staff

Indian managers are well-known throughout the entire world to treat employees like total garbage. It’s in her heritage. Nothing new here.

nope

The issue is always The Money.

the only time 'it's The Revolution' is when The Revolution involves money.

For the top tier it's about money and power.

The underlings, the proletariats, the 'true believers', the 'useful idiots', are the fools who believe in 'The Revolution'.

Hillary’s campaign stiffed caterers, limos an all kinds of other services. But no one complains otherwise they would end up like Vince Foster.
