Low morale and disfunction in VP office? [Politico]

[blackangst1]

This is an interesting read. Info gained from former and current employees makes it sound like the VP office is in a tailspin? I honestly thought things would be pretty smooth running (not being sarcastic).

Not a very in depth article, but yea I'm sure there's stuff going on like any other high pressure setting. I wouldn't doubt it's even worse either. I'm sure jobs like that are about money, pressure, and influence and routinely have back stabbing as a daily part of it.

Based on the Politico article, the issue appears to be Tina Flournoy, Harris’ chief of staff.
My guess is that she will end up with a short tenure if her style results in a work environment that keeps talent from joining.

If so that’s bad and I hope they work it out. I did think it was funny that one of the main quotes was about how she wasn’t giving preferential treatment to large donors. That’s a good thing!

I want to see people's scale of dysfunction so we can accurately judge.

Even if true, office politics beats Republican fascism and incompetence.

Hm a CoS who limits access to their boss huh? I mean that's kind of the job.

Almost inevitable we would reach a point that a lack of rampant outright corruption would could be sold to gossipy outlets as suspicious and get exploited by people who aren't getting to bend ears.

Sounds like some people are just not happy following or taking orders from a Black woman.
