According to the NY Times latest piece, Representative Anthony D. Weiner is an absolute joy to work for and admits, “I push people pretty hard.”

Mr. Weiner, a technology fiend who requires little sleep and rarely takes a day off, routinely instant messages his employees on weekends, often just one-word missives: “Teeth” (as in, your answer reminds me of pulling teeth) or “weeds” (as in, you are too much in the weeds). Never shy about belting out R-rated language, he enjoys challenging staff members on issues, even at parties.

It’s no wonder he leads the NY delagation when it comes to staff turn-over.
