Another one bites the dust - bannon

The sad thing is some people simply cannot find it in their hearts to say anything that is not negative… I find those that do so consistently on every issue and every thread on the board interesting. Reminds me of the commercial with the Energizer Bunny for batteries years ago where something keeps on going and going in this case the complaining.

Just my personal thought.

Force fed by a leftist MSM, the most anti-Trump whiners.

Perhaps, but this sort of attrition rate is extremely high and suggests poor hiring.

No, I don’t believe a chaotic office is an effective one and given the number of top advisors that haven’t lasted 6 months suggests that this office is chaotic. People that flip employees that fast usually find difficulty hiring good employees later because they know they may be fired on a whim. Most business people understand this.

LOL, I might imagine a lot of our self made wealthy business men voted for him. Perhaps they know a little more about business than you.

My problem with MSM is they always whine and complain. It’s sad to me some feel life is so negative that that is the mantra of that particular news outlet.

It’s those I KNOW that watch MSM that say things like the “country is going to hell in a handbasket.” No it’s not actually.

It’s a cognitive distortion really to say that. “Everything is ruined because one or two things aren’t perfect.”

You can look up common cognitive distortions online.

Obviously a poor hiring. It seems there is a revamp in the White House and that is a welcome changes for less chaotic but more discipline staff. I think General Kelly has a full grip as the chief and it seems to begin to take effect.

LOL, I’m sure many wealthy business men who aren’t quite as self-made as they think they are did vote for him. After all, he is hardly a self-made business man.

LOL, I’m sure people like you that aren’t in business think they know more about business because they hear stories from their husbands than people that actually work.

We’ll have to see. I think if General Kelly had a good grip, then the Saturday and Wednesday disastrous press conferences don’t happen. That isn’t to say he can’t get a grip; it is to say that he doesn’t have one yet.

I actually don’t have some pie in the sky thought as some do that I am an expert at business or politics.

I’m not. I’m just an average Joe Bloe voter who is a nurse and also was a medical underwriter for years.

One doesn’t need to be a businessman to vote. Check it out!~

It’s interesting that you would now say that you aren’t an expert in business after trying to say this is normal business practice as if you knew what you were talking about. It was pretty evident you didn’t. No, having that rate of attrition is not normal.

My thought is that it’s not the end of the world and a doomsday prediction for our country the high attrition rate. Delottie has a high attrition rate. Most people leave after getting their CPA or are asked to leave after some number of years if they are not partner material, yet they are one of the biggest accounting/financial firms in the World
.
Perhaps finding the right person for the job is more important.

Worry not things will be ok…:tiphat:

Yes, agree with you there. Too early to say but the prospect of him there do get good review by some people to tie loose ends and to improve the running of the administration and to provide leadership. As I said, it is a welcome change. Too much uncontrolled indiscipline and leaks should be managed and stopped, and hopefully with the new structure the White House will be more functional.

Yes but their retention rate can still be measured in years. With Pres. Trump, so far the average retention period can be measured in weeks. Every time someone leaves, the replacement requires weeks or months to get up to speed on all dossiers. That is zero or low productivity time, or time when poor decisions are made. You can’t really run an effective department like that, much less the White House where decisions can literally have life and death implications, for instance the situation in Korea.

Actually, as much as I dislike Mr. Bannon, his recent statements about Korea, contradicting Mr. Trump, were spot-on.

You make a valid point I have always respected your well reasoned posts.

The current West Wing:

Donald Trump
Mike Pence
John Kelly
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Jared Kushner
Kellyanne Conway
Stephen Miller

Are you going to start a pool on the dates each one except Pence leaves?

Yup, high turn over is a loss to the organization but in this case, there seems not much choice. The administration it seems is trying to finding itself.

Trump is not a Washington based politician thus forming a team for his administration is more difficult than say for a senior Senator or a Vice President, who is already more familiar with the environment there.

Here’s the thing: pro-life doesn’t stop at birth. I do hope the new judge issues pro-life judgments. It remains to be seen if he does.

But cutting health care funding to the poor or enacting policies that will cause millions to lose health care insurance are a policies that are the very opposite of pro-life.

To your point Medicaid pays for the delivery of 49% of pregnancies within the US. So far every Republican plan was cutting Medicaid.

Many of our Presidents have come from outside Washington. That’s no excuse for Trump who had been running for President since 1988.

And if Deloitte fails, there is always Ernst and Young.

If the United States government fails, there is no replacement.

 

[ProVobis]

Therefore the rapid turnover is not surprising then.

The upside is that the President knows that nobody is indispensable.

Anyone who works for him should know he or she is dispensable and should update that old resume daily.

Has Donald ever been fired?

 

[ProVobis]

Market dropped another 74 points today. Surprising since they were cheering Bannon’s leaving on Wall Street today.

So am I, but is Trump truly pro-life

He took 5 positions on abortion, in just 3 days, so presumably one of them is right.
