Embattled DNC Asks All Staffers For Resignation Letters

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez has launched a major reshuffling of the party's organization that has been stung by recent crisis and the DNC has requested the resignation letters of all current staffers be submitted by next month.
Party staff routinely see major turnover with a new boss and staffers were alerted earlier to expect such a move. However, the mass resignation letters will give Perez a chance to completely remake the DNC's headquarters from scratch. Staffing had already reached unusual lows following a round of layoffs in December.
Immediately after Perez' election in late February, an adviser to outgoing DNC Interim Chair Donna Brazile, Leah Daughtry, asked every employee to submit a letter of resignation dated April 15, according to multiple sources familiar with the party's internal working.
A committee advising Perez on his transition is now interviewing staff and others as part of a top-to-bottom review process to help decide not only who will stay and who will go, but how the party should be structured in the future.

Losing experienced people and in my opinion mass resignation letters show a lack of leadership and creates distrust in staff.
I understand it's a "common" tactic, but I'd rather rally the troops and fire the ones I don't like then have people wonder for months if they'll have a job.

(5,525 posts)8. If it's to bring in fresh ideas, good. If it's at the behest of the clueless DNC lifers, prepare to
lose again. We need new faces - not the same roster of career DNC barnacles attempting to feign novelty. We as a party are in dire straits. It's time to rebuild with new faces and attack Trump's gross incompetence.
Our party is flailing wildly in the wind and needs direction. Anyone telling you that we're fine or that's it's all Trump's fault doesn't have our best interests at heart.
We badly need a new JFK, or FDR.
