A January 2020 report said Dawn Dunlop would belittle her subordinates and once reduced a fellow senior officer to tears
Her behaviour created a toxic work environment, according to the report, and physically affected several staff members. Many began having trouble at work, lost sleep, considered quitting their jobs and did not speak up during staff meetings. One witness said that some people physically shook from fear when they had to interact with Dunlop.
including calling someone’s work “crap” in the middle of a meeting, and publicly demeaning people’s writing abilities. On Jan. 4, 2019, she allegedly grabbed a subordinate’s hand without consent in the middle of one reprimand ahead of a meeting. In May 2019, the month in which she was fired, Dunlop allegedly pushed one senior officer to tears after prodding them repeatedly during a meeting, despite being told to stop. The senior officer, according to the report, welled up in anger and told Dunlop that they were peers and that she was not to speak to her like that. However, Dunlop continued to push the matter in a “mocking” fashion, causing the senior officer to storm out.
Witnesses said they understood Dunlop as an extraordinarily talented and accomplished officer who wanted the air force to succeed. She viewed SAPCO as a broken organization, they said, and believed that she was meant to come in and fix it.But her behaviour towards staff caused many witnesses to question how she advanced to the level of major general.
