Kamala Harris received poor job performance evaluations while working as a civil attorney for the city of San Francisco, according to a copy of city documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
The now-vice president accepted a job with the city of San Francisco after she resigned from the San Francisco district attorney’s office after leading a poorly organized coup to overthrow Deputy Attorney General Darrell Salomon.
“I have been disillusioned and disappointed in the senior leadership of the district attorney’s office,” Harris saying publicly when he resigned, complaining about “dysfunctional” leadership and “low morale” in the office.
But Harris’ leadership skills in her new job weren’t all that impressive either.
Harris left the district attorney’s office to work for City Attorney Louise Renne, as a deputy prosecutor to head the city’s Children’s Services Unit in 2000.

But while he planned to challenge his old boss, District Attorney Terrence Hallinan, he, of course, wasn’t taking his new job seriously.
In September 2002, the Department of Human Services issued an evaluation of the team’s performance that was less than favorable.
Although Harris and his team earned favorable marks for the quality of their work, creativity in their advice, and understanding of issues, they earned less favorable marks on other important metrics.
On a scale of one to five, Harris only scored a “2” for whether she was “thorough, helpful and proactive” and only a three for whether she showed good judgment.
Harris also earned a ‘2’ rating for recognizing deadlines, speed of delivery, and anticipating your needs. Even more embarrassing was not being able to return phone calls and emails promptly.
Kamala Harris resigned from District Attorney Terrence Hallinan’s office in August 2000 and served as San Francisco’s city attorney before challenging her former boss in the following election.
The survey was based on a ‘group rating’ conducted by judicial officers from across the unit based on the conclusion of the survey.
“Job performance varies dramatically by individual attorney, indicating a lack of communication and leadership in the unit,” the performance evaluation reads.
“A score of ‘3’ is not a lack of opinion, but rather a truly average score,” the review concludes.
Harris’ performance review is yet another example of how she provided average or even poor leadership in her position after running a successful campaign to achieve it.
Harris was appointed to two high-paying part-time positions on the state board while dating then-State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, but frequently missed meetings, even though they were only held once or twice a year. month.
After campaigning and defeating Hallinan in 2003 for district attorney, conviction rates fell during her tenure, followed by a crime lab scandal that led her to dismiss more than a thousand cases.
As vice president, Harris is now running for president thanks to her record of service as a prosecutor, despite a mixed record.
“The good thing about being a prosecutor, and I’ve talked to a lot of prosecutors over the years across the country, is that you only have one job, which is to do the right thing,” he told radio station Howard Stern on Wednesday. .
