Years after the COVID-19 pandemic ended, Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin on Wednesday ordered staffers to work in-person at the office, prompting anger from employees and accusations from the committee's union that the decision is "callous" and "shocking."
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣
Immediately after "Martin explained that a full-time return to the office was necessary to ensure that information wasn't being siloed and that staff members would not miss out on time-sensitive decisions," employees began complaining, with remote workers sending "a flurry of thumbs-down emojis and other online expressions of discontent" on Zoom, the New York Times reported.
Martin suggested that staff members who dislike the policy "should consider finding another job elsewhere," describing the move as a "'Band-Aid' that was overdue in being ripped off."
By the end of the day, the DNC employees' union, SEIU Local 500, blasted the decision, writing that "it was shocking to see the D.N.C. chair disregard staff's valid concerns on today's team call."
