17. This news report certainly makes him sound like a bad manager

The report "confirms (that) Mr. Jaczko was undermining the agency and its mission of safety — and he was doing this at one of the NRC's most critical junctures: in the aftermath of the Fukushima accident," Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., said. "Mr. Jaczko's abuse of his power was preventing" other NRC commissioners from doing their jobs."

Jaczko, 41, a Democrat, has led the nuclear safety agency for three years. He pushed for sweeping safety reforms but came under fire for an unyielding management style that some said veered into bullying.

In an extraordinary public rebuke, four fellow commissioners sat next to Jaczko in December and told Congress they had "grave concerns" about Jaczko's actions. The four commissioners — two Democrats and two Republicans — said women at the agency felt especially threatened.


Normally I'd dismiss this as bullshit for the simple fact that that jackass Inhofe was anywhere near it, but the fact that there appear to be so many other corroborating witnesses (four fellow commissioners, two of which were fellow Democrats) makes me wonder.
