Capitol Hill can be a very difficult place to work, but Sheila Jackson Lee, Amy Klobuchar, Henry Cueller and Ted Cruz are the absolute worst bosses in Congress.

Government tracking site Legistorm recently unveiled a new feature which charts each office’s annual salary-weighted staff turnover rate, in which the aforementioned lawmakers far outpaced their peers.

Legistorm also found that Sheila Jackson Lee and Amy Klobuchar had the highest turnover rates from 2000-2016, which is further buttressed by The Daily Caller’s own reporting.

Jackson Lee has reportedly made her personal office a personal hell for staffers. (RELATED: Boss From Hell – Sheila Jackson Lee)

She repeatedly disparages her staff members, frequently calling them “idiot,” “moron,” and “you stupid motherfucker.”

“It’s like being an Iraq War veteran,” a former staffer said of time spent in her office. “People don’t tell the worst of the stories, because they’re really unbelievable.”
