The entirety of Rep. Nancy Mace’s, R-S.C., Washington, D.C. staff has reportedly turned over since November 1, 2023, three sources close to the situation told The Daily Beast.
Former employees alleged a “toxic” workplace, with one former senior employee noting to the Daily Beast that Mace was “abusive” in her methods of using workplace software to excessively communicate with staffers. The source claimed that Mace’s correspondence was “constant,” adding that she would “micromanage the office all day and into the night and early morning.”
“If she needed us, we had to answer within eight minutes,” another former staffer alleged in describing how Mace had reportedly called employees late at night on Christmas Eve. “Nancy is delusional as a boss,” they continued. “She says nothing publicly without her consultants or senior staffers telling her to, but takes credit for everything. She’s a walking teleprompter.”
The ex-employee also told the Daily Beast that Mace “has no idea what it actually means to be a member of Congress and is too scared and self-conscious to deal with other people, so she accomplished nothing.”
