Several members of a troubled Portland city bureau, including its recently departed director, helped plunge the agency into turmoil and cultivated a toxic work environment, according to a report released Tuesday.
Behavior by former head Suk Rhee and four other Office of Community & Civic Life employees left many who worked for or with them feeling belittled and bereft, those people told an outside consultant hired to look into the bureau’s workplace culture.
“Most interviewees and survey participants felt the bureau cannot move forward with Suk as a director, citing her lack of concern for employee experience, bullying behavior and hierarchical and condescending style of leadership,” the report said.
