""It was shocking to see the DNC chair disregard staff's valid concerns on today's team call," they wrote. "D.N.C. staff worked extremely hard to support historic wins for Democrats up and down the ballot last Tuesday, and this change feels especially callous considering the current economic conditions created by the Trump administration.""
""If you think democracy is on the line - working in the office is not a big ask," Tanden wrote in a post on X. "And there are plenty of other people willing to step up. Get yourselves together people.""
"Martin reportedly told employees that if they don't like the new policy, they should go find a job elsewhere."
The DNC implemented a five-day in-office requirement for employees, ending remote work for staff. Staff reacted with visible anger during a team call, including thumbs-down emojis and expressions of discontent. The employees' union called the directive "callous" and noted staff had worked hard to secure recent Democratic victories while facing difficult economic conditions. Ken Martin reportedly told employees who oppose the policy to find work elsewhere. Neera Tanden and the Center for New Liberalism publicly suggested that staff unwilling to work in-office should look for other opportunities, arguing campaign and party roles demand in-person commitment.
