@KurtSchlichter Maybe he thinks this play is win-win
Fired and he becomes a martyr OR
Not fired and he has shown his "power" by publicly undercutting the boss
You connect with the people you lead in a completely different way when you go spend time with them where THEY are
I once told my plant manager to go to her packaging line and thank the team in person for breaking a changeover record
She found me later and said she did just that and they gave her an earful... and she loved it because they gave her honest input and they felt valued because she got out from her big office to visit them
@stoolpresidente One of my jobs in the USAF 30 yes ago was technical intel. It was clear there are a number of countries run by bad actors that perceive Americans being nice as weakness. They only respected strength.
I get the focus on Sliwa now but I feel the Democrat party in NY and Dem voters that couldn't be bothered to show up in a primary are the real reason for Mandamis position here.
Voters may have been apathetic given the candidate selection but the choice of anyone but the communist was already there, and D primary voters failed to look out for NYC
I recall Republicans not liking Romney because he had MA health care system and other policies but they went with the "nice guy" and Dems turned him into a caricature. I think this convinced many that picking moderates was not via with Dems and independents. Completely opened path for DJT to the nomination and him running against 16 other candidates in the primary sealed the deal.
In my view a great irony here is Republicans did the same thing in the 2016 primary. Trump got a commanding lead in delegates by winning 30+ % in each early state. The GOP establishment that so wanted him to lose was full of candidates with egos unable to grasp how they were handing the nomination to Trump by staying in the race.
