More Strib Editorial Irony
The Strib is weighing in on the US Attorney deal here in Minnesota.
Editorial: Answers needed to Paulose questions
Of course, they pick their own little girl Senator Klobuchar to get to the bottom of the ‘turmoil’ in the Attorney’s office. They may have picked the perfect former Chief Attorney for this one. After all, A-Klo should know all about having underlings complaining about managerial styles in a major Attorney’s office.
As County Attorney, Amy Klobuchar has created a hostile work environment. This has resulted in increased grievances from employees as well as informal disciplinary matters in which the union was asked to intervene on the employee’s behalf. Ms. Klobuchar’s hiring practices have further evidenced disdain for her own employees. Qualified personnel from her own and other public offices have been rejected because her priority has been to choose candidates who support her ambitions. In a dispute with county investigators, Ms. Klobuchar made no effort to keep these qualified team members in the office. She has even succeeded in diminishing the union ranks by promoting retirement among a group of employees, and then rehiring them as independent contractors.
I guess the Strib is correct, there may be no better person to investigate the possible mishandling of managerial duties in a major attorney’s office than Senator Klobuchar, that is, of course if they want to have someone with a little experience in running an Attorney’s office in a way that employees feel used, abused, and misused. Hypocrisy has no better home than the Strib.
