Former staffers of the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said the congresswoman’s office is a “miserable” and “harsh” environment, BuzzFeed News reported.
BuzzFeed spoke with 14 anonymous ex-staffers who worked for Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington over the course of her nearly five years in Congress. The report, which took three months to compile, said the former staffers described the work environment as an “especially harsh office with a boss whose treatment of workers runs contrary to the public expectations she has set for others.”
Ex-staffers speaking with BuzzFeed painted Jayapal as someone who publicly berated those who worked under her and required grueling hours, the outlet reported. Her office had ever-changing expectations and a low tolerance for mistakes, they said.
“I’ve worked in bad environments before, and I have worked in some awful environments before for some awful people. I’ve been colleagues with some awful people,” one former Jayapal staffer told BuzzFeed. “I have never worked in a place that has made me so miserable and so not excited for public service as Pramila Jayapal’s office.”
The congresswoman advocates for progressive policies, including the Paycheck Recovery Act, intended to slow layoffs during the pandemic. In November 2020, however, Jayapal laid off two of her staffers without severance, sources familiar with the situation told BuzzFeed.
One of the dismissed staffers was invited to apply to a position that reportedly consolidated the two roles, the sources told BuzzFeed. After going through the full application, the staffer found out the job went to someone else during an all-hands meeting, despite the responsibilities of the position being basically the same as their previous one…

Ya’ll voted for it. EMBRACE THE SUCK!.................
Anyone who has any working relationship with liberals knows what a bunch of self-absorbed narcissists they can be.
Liberalism already believes there are no absolutes except what they say, only for the moment. Couple that with an emotional, equally capricious woman who is used to getting everything her way, and you have the perfect environment to torture subordinate liberals.
We need more liberals reporting to liberals like her.
has buzzfeed been sold
why the hitpiece?
Would love this article to become more public.
Proggies are (1) better than you, and (2) thieves. It’s a tough combination to work for.
Weren’t there similar accusations about Tlaib just last week?
Scratch a virtue signaler and you get a sociopath—every time.
Can we clone her about 500 times and install her in key orifices in DC.
The entire Democrat Party “runs contrary to the public expectations she has set for others.”
It’s how they roll.
Here’s an idea: give each congresscritter TWO secretaries, that’s it. One for DC and one to run the office back in their district. If members had to research and write their own bills the country would be immeasurably better off.
She’s been called Joe Camel but Joe was insulted by the comparison.
PGR88’s LAW states
“the number psychopaths working in government is in logarithmic relation to the ratio of total government spending to GDP”
That’s a MAN baby!!
She’s ugh, ugh, ugly inside and out.
I was a staffer for Congressman Larry Smith in the mid-80’s.
Everyone in the office was afraid of him.
As I got to cooperate with other offices, I discovered that this was very common among Democrat offices. Joe Biden’s office was afraid to tell him bad news. Dick Gephart’s office was similarly cowed.
On rare occasions I worked with Republican offices - particulary E. Clay Shaw’s. They were all pleasant people who really liked their boss and got along with him well.
The one exception was Claude Pepper’s office. While they were Democrats, they were very nice and obviously loved the old man.
That is one ugly person
