ECB Staff Criticize Lagarde’s Leadership in Union Survey
- Performance deemed poor with complaints about diversity policy
- Spokesperson slams survey that polled less than 25% of workers
Christine Lagarde’s performance as European Central Bank chief was criticized in a staff union survey marking the halfway point of her eight-year term.
A slight majority of respondents in the December poll assessed her presidency as either “poor” or “very poor,” the IPSO union said in a document summarizing the findings and seen by Bloomberg. More than 53% also said Lagarde wasn’t currently the right person for the job. The survey was first reported by Politico.
