"California Official Accused of Workplace Bullying and Putting Employee's Desk on Roof"

Employees at Antioch Unified School District have accused their supervisor, Kenneth Turnage, of constant bullying and harassment, with at least 10 employees lodging complaints against him. Turnage allegedly instructed heavy equipment to move a worker's desk to a roof in an attempt to publicly humiliate him, leading to stress-related medical leaves and early retirement. The employees believe Turnage's close relationship with the district superintendent and her husband has shielded him from proper discipline, despite the district's human resources director claiming appropriate action was taken. The employees fear retaliation and express concern about the negative impact on the school district.

Dominic Raab's Leadership Saga: Dismissed Warnings and Ungracious Departure

Lord McDonald, a retired senior civil servant who worked with Dominic Raab in the Foreign Office, has accused the former deputy PM of dismissing repeated warnings about his behaviour. McDonald described Raab as a "tough taskmaster" whose methods did not help him achieve his aims. Raab resigned on Friday after a bullying inquiry found he was "intimidating" and "aggressive" towards officials. Raab said his behaviour was not bullying, and that almost all of the complaints against him were dismissed.

Marianne Williamson faces allegations of abusive behavior towards campaign staff.

Former staff members of Marianne Williamson's 2020 presidential campaign have accused her of physical rage and verbally abusive outbursts, including throwing her phone at three staffers, shouting so loudly that hotel staff would come to check on their rooms, and slamming her hand so hard into a car door that she was taken to an urgent care facility. Williamson also required all her campaign employees to sign nondisclosure agreements and once floated the idea of tracking aides' activity on their cellphones. Williamson denied the staff members' claims but admitted she pounded the car door and raised her voice in a hotel room once with an aide.
