        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Harris&rsquo; allegedly &ldquo;soul-destroying&rdquo; management style was revealed by staffers to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/12/04/kamala-harris-staff-departures/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Washington Post</a> just days after spokesperson and longtime aide Symone Sanders announced her departure.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Who are the next talented people you&rsquo;re going to bring in and burn through and then have [them] pretend they&rsquo;re retiring for positive reasons?&rdquo; former Harris aide Gil Duran told the paper.</p>
<p>Duran said that Harris&rsquo; &ldquo;destructive patterns&rdquo; were behind the recent turmoil and exit of Sanders and communications director Ashley Etienne.</p>
<p>&ldquo;One of the things we&rsquo;ve said in our little text groups among each other is what is the common denominator through all this and it&rsquo;s her,&rdquo; Duran said.</p>
<p>One former staffer claimed the vice president fails to read briefing materials, then lashes out at others when she&rsquo;s unprepared.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s clear that you&rsquo;re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,&rdquo; the staffer said. &ldquo;With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you&rsquo;re constantly sort of propping up a bully, and it&rsquo;s not really clear why.&rdquo;</p>
<p>But another former staffer said that although Harris is a demanding boss, she is not unreasonable.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never had an experience in my long history with Kamala where I felt like she was unfair,&rdquo; said Sean Clegg, who worked for Harris in 2008, when she was San Francisco&rsquo;s district attorney.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Has she called bulls&ndash;y? Yes. And does that make people uncomfortable sometimes? Yes. But if she were a man with her management style, she would have a TV show called &lsquo;The Apprentice.&rsquo; &rdquo;</p>
<p>The White House said the staff turnover was not unusual.</p>
<p>&ldquo;In my experience, and if you look at past precedent, it&rsquo;s natural for staffers who have thrown their heart and soul into a job to be ready to move on to a new challenge after a few years,&rdquo; spokesman Jen Psaki stated, seemingly oblivious to the reality that Harris has only been in office for a year.<br /><br />"And many of these people fit that description."</p>]]></content:encoded>
