Jayapal’s behavior is recognized in Washington, DC and 14 former workers were mentioned by BuzzFeed News after a three-month probe, who worked for the congresswoman over the last five years. Out of the 16 of her current personal staff, only five have worked for the congresswoman for more than two years. Nine began less than a year ago.
The outlet said that Jayapal has one of the highest staff turnover rates in Congress due to a "toxic and abusive" office and called her acts "contrary to the public expectations she has set for others."
One personnel called the working environment "so toxic and abusive that I felt like the only way I could continue to function both in my professional and personal life was to seek therapy and counseling." The staffer added that "leaving was the only choice."
The report cited Jayapal causing a new staffer to break into tears after a House Budget Committee hearing and mentioned three sources who claimed she once accused a staffer of her personal weight gain and accused the employee of not setting enough gym time for her. The report claimed that Jayapal scolded staff publicly, regularly changed expectations, and demanded grueling hours.
Jayapal spokesman Chris Evans, told BuzzFeed that the alleged weight gain occurrence is a "disgustingly sexist rumor" and claimed that a male member of Congress would not face the same scrutiny.
One worker told the outlet that they had "worked in some awful environments" in DC but "never worked in a place that has made me so miserable and so not excited for public service as Pramila Jayapal’s office."
Lilah Pomerance, Jayapal’s chief of staff, told BuzzFeed that women of color "are often unjustly targeted, regularly held to higher standards than their male colleagues, and always put under a sexist microscope."
Still, Jayapal’s temper has been recognized in public, most distinctly during a congressional hearing with former ICE director Tom Homan.
Some local Washington state extreme progressives even took to social media to back up the reporting.
Jayapal, the head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, may have studied the policy from her privileged upbringing. In a May 10, 2004, interview, Jayapal said that she was born into the Nayar caste, which is two steps down from the top of India’s caste system, yet still a place of privilege.
"Everybody in India talks about caste in one way or another, and the Nayar caste, I think that's where it came into my, my sort of just general intellectual space, was just through this one caste that we belonged to called the Nayars because the Nayars were sort of the glory light."
