On press and journalism, this is not partisan I hope, my feelings on the stories of Candidate Amy Klobuchar's - um - eccentricities, like eating. salad with a comb when she had no utensils and telling a worker to clean the comb! Unless there are no other equivalent jobs, and as long as there's no discrimination or illegal retaliation involved - if you apply after the eccentricities are known in the press, isn't it on you, not on them?

Maybe there are thoughts in whether this is similar in terms of dealing with a really tough boss. For years, artistically progressive and diversity-champion producer Scott Rudin has had exposes written about him that he treated his assistants terribly, firing someone by throwing him out of the car in one story. It became clear to everyone applying to work there: You have many places you can send your resume, and you're on clear notice as you apply that he treats people this way and you WILL likely have a tense exciting job just a few months. And yet, so many highly qualified people vie for their few months working for him. At some point long ago, they knew and still wanted their time.
I think with the Presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar office, people now might apply to work there knowing what awaits, a boss saying everything bad is the worst ever - but thrilling when it clicks. (Like the Johnny Carson groaner: We're combing the streets for stories about her. Thank you, I'm here all week. Luckily, it's Saturday and the week's almost over!)
In 2019, by now, when you rely on ANYTHING Trump tweets as true, haven't you been on notice that it's a coin toss to rely on its truth? (We accept this elsewhere. He's not going to be different especially for you. Why not Presidents or candidates if you choose to think that the work is worth it?)
