The board of the Milwaukee host committee for the 2020 Democratic National Convention terminates its 2 leaders after allegations of a "toxic workplace."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:The Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday that a group of senior women staffers wrote an unsigned letter last week complaining of being "bullied and intimidated" by Alonso — something they said Gilbert did nothing to stop. They said Alonso's actions fostered a "toxic and unstable" culture.Democrats need to live up to their own values... or at least look like they're living up to their own purported values. At least the employees felt empowered to come forward with a complaint, and they got results.
"Every employee has a right to feel respected in their workplace," said a one-page statement from the board. "Based on the information we have learned to date, we believe the work environment did not meet the ideals and expectations of the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee Board of Directors. Accordingly, [committee president] Liz Gilbert and [her chief of staff] Adam Alonso are no longer employed by the organization, effective immediately."...
Gilbert's attorney, Peg Schaffer, [said] "Frankly, it is frustrating to me that a disgruntled staff who when confronted with a strong woman leader is using the euphemism of a toxic workplace to complain about their boss"....
Here's the text of the (unsigned) letter:
January 30, 2020
Dear Milwaukee 2020 Board of Directors:
We write to inform you of our experiences with the President and Chief of Staff of
Milwaukee 2020 with the hope that an unwavering change will be made. There is not
a HR department for us to turn to and therefore we understand that all principal
decisions are in the hands of the Board.
Adam Alonso has consistently bullied and intimidated staff members, but of note is
that this is primarily directed at the women on staff. Resulting in a culture that
coddles male senior advisors and consultants who have no clear role or clear lines of
management. His mismanagement of the Host Committee, enabled by Liz Gilbert,
has created a toxic and unstable working environment that we will not allow to
continue.
The office culture is toxic and insular to Adam and Liz, which discourages honest
feedback and discourse. This has significantly impacted staff morale resulting in a
fear of retribution and lack of trust among not only senior but junior staff as well.
Since November, complaints of this nature were brought to the attention of Liz
Gilbert, who has gone on to defend him. Our challenges have been entirely
dismissed.
To-date, one of us has decided to leave the organization and several junior women
have approached us distraught and fearful, not knowing where else to turn.
Please reach out if needed.
Thank you in advance for reading.
Warmly,
Senior women from the Host Committee
