it's the stupidity, willful ignorance, and/or complicity that kills me.
he's so obvious, so transparent, and so corrupt...he's showing us all, and defying us to believe our own eyes!
you wouldn't allow your friends or family to be swindled by his kind. you wouldn't hire him to work for you. you couldn't wait to fire him if you had the chance, just so you wouldn't have to be around him.
you wouldn't put up with his schemes, his cons, his bs, his constant whining, his constant bogus claims, his constant bragging, his constant demonstrable lies, his constant lack of sympathy, of empathy, of basic manners...you just wouldn't!
why in the h3ll would you hire him to represesent you to the entire world?
to represent YOUR interests? to be in charge of prosecuting crimes that he commits?
WHY! Because he gets things done. If I hire a person , it's not because he speaks well or seems so nice but does a so-so job. I want to hire some one the expands my business so I can hire more people so they can make the company more money so I can hire more people to expand my business so I can hire ... See how it works.
Workin4it,
I appreciate your answer, and really, I am trying to understand the opposing point of view. I truly am trying to see why I should change my opinion of this guy.
WHAT has this guy accomplished? I am not going to list again all the promises he has made that he has not followed through with. The stuff he takes credit for can be proven to be not his doing, and the stuff he has failed at is all buried by him as "fake news.
If you had an employee at your company that was getting such non-results in the position you gave to him, and he was blaming things like his tardiness and absenteeism on "the clocks are wrong" and "that calendar is incorrect", you would not put up it.
If the employee used excuses for not getting a task done like "the last guy who had the job sucked", or "the other person who you were interviewing for this job is crooked", you would say "yes, and the last person is gone, and we did not hire that other person, so blaming them is not important, and I need you to do YOUR job and stop talking about them!"
If your company had paid for marketing research that business decisions were being based on, and this employee was sharing it with your competitors, after the researchers said it should not be shared, you would be concerned, correct?
And if your new employee was ticking off some of your best customers, loyal buyers who have kept your company in business all these years, people who always pay on time, give you good Yelp reviews, etc. If the employee pissed them off, you would probably say something to him, right?
What if it came across that he said in the interview that he was trained in doing something that your company needed done, and then you found out that he lied about knowing how to do that? Would you keep him around? And when you ask him why he lied about it, he turns it around and says that HE didn't lie, you just don't know what you are talking about, he is DOING this better than anyone, and you just can't recognise it? What would you say to that employee?
Like I say, I am just trying to figure out WHY I should think that this employee of mine (he IS after all, a public servant, elected to serve ALL the citizens of this country) is more than a big bag of farts?
