Sources described to Politico a tense atmosphere with low morale and trust, as well as bad communication in VP Kamala Harris's office
Some of the sources blamed Harris, saying the toxicity 'all starts at the top'
They accused Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy of creating an environment where 'ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out'
'People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it's an abusive environment,' said one source
Biden warned in January while swearing in presidential appointees that he would fire them 'on the spot' if he were to hear they have shown 'disrespect' others
Harris' chief spokesperson Symone Sanders, pushed back against the claims and called those who made them 'cowards'
The office of Vice President Kamala Harris has been rocked by claims that staffers are 'treated like sh**' and that Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy has created 'blame culture.'

Sources described a tense atmosphere with low morale and trust, as well as bad communication, according to the outlet.
