"Lander 'retaliated against staff for speaking out and asking questions by calling them names, disparaging them, embarrassing them in front of their peers, laughing at them, shunning them, taking away their duties, and replacing them or driving them out of the agency. Numerous women have been left in tears, traumatized, and feeling vulnerable and isolated,' Wallace told the outlet.
She also reportedly claimed that Lander deliberately demoted her. "
If true, he should be fired.
"An OSTP spokesperson told DailyMail.com that the probe found no credible evidence of gender-based discrimination and said 'the complainant's reassignment was deemed appropriate.'"
It looks like they concluded the accusations are overblown.
"But a pledge the president made on January 20 of last year to fire workplace bullies 'on the spot' has been called into question by unnamed OSTP employees who believe the White House's reported disciplinary measures against Lander do not go far enough."
An empty promise to make and impossible to live up to given the difficulty of firing anyone in the federal government.
