Yikes.....this can't be good news for Amy.......

........What is indisputable, however, is that Klobuchar’s office consistently has one of the highest rates of staff turnover in the Senate. From 2001 to 2016, she ranked No. 1 in the Senate for staff turnover as measured by LegiStorm, a widely used database of congressional staff salaries. She’s now third, behind Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen and Louisiana Republican John Kennedy.

And this is not the first time Klobuchar has had issues building a team because of worries about her mistreatment of staff.

4. So...let me guess...

Not likeable?

5. If the worst people can say about her is that she is a hard ass

and has high expectations then I think she'll be fine.

6. I refuse to click on a huffinpuff link.

Is this a legitimate title or shit stirring? Abuse is a pretty stiff accusation. So the portion you provided refers to her standing in rate of staff pay and that there is a high turnover... anything in the article that would indicate, like from former staff, that there's a big problem with the Senator?

I'm curious, these are the answers I'd seek from the article but I don't consider the "sideboob gazaette"* a fully credible source, especially with a title like that.

*Thanks to Jon Stewart for that one.

7. Ah, so she had the worst rate of staff turnover from 2001 to 2016

except that she took office in 2007!

And I hate to claim misogyny too often but I suspect that many people, working for women, expect a motherly, nurturing boss.

Well, she is tough, perfectionist and expect the same from her stuff.

If she were a man the description would be admirable. Or something.

8. There has been talk about how poorly she treats staff since her days as County Attorney.

There were employees from that office that begged AFSCME not to endorse her the first time she ran for the senate.

Maybe it explains why her staff is rude when you call her office, even when you're calling to say you appreciate a position she's taken.

Gawd, it's disheartening.....
