38. "He has a history of angry outbursts, especially when he believes people aren't working hard enough"

"As a boss, Mr. Sanders is notoriously tough. Former aides have described him as demanding and particular, sometimes to a fault. In many ways, he is the quintessential Brooklyn diner patron: The service is never quite fast enough, and what they deliver is never quite what he ordered.

"Mr. Sanders 'never makes you feel like you’re good enough to be in the room with him,' one former aide said."

Interesting to find this buried as an "oh, by the way" in a balanced story about Bernie's personality - more than a year after the same NY Times smeared all over its front page a story alleging Amy Klobuchar's toughness made her an abusive boss.

How Amy Klobuchar Treats Her Staff

Senator Amy Klobuchar was hungry, forkless and losing patience.

An aide, joining her on a trip to South Carolina in 2008, had procured a salad for his boss while hauling their bags through an airport terminal. But once onboard, he delivered the grim news: He had fumbled the plastic eating utensils before reaching the gate, and the crew did not have any forks on such a short flight.

What happened next was typical: Ms. Klobuchar berated her aide instantly for the slip-up.
