If this is how these assistants talk about their boss, imagine how they treat their underlings.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The nepobaby interns or the people actually working their way up from the bottom.

I wonder which get treated worse.

A president that reads all the briefs? What a monster!

"so i can't ask my boss to do something, i need a reason for them to do so, it's so stressful."

🤔

God I want someone this competent in office so badly. I'm tired of bad politicians conning the system and "good" politicians just running things on autopilot. I want a leader that understands their government so badly.

This echoes what I've been feeling about Kamala's campaign too. I feel she'll be great at the job of presidency, but may have to rely on Walz to grease the wheels of congress to actually pass things.

"It would be such a dream job to work for Trump. He doesn't read anything, and as long as you call him sir and agree with him, you can basically do whatever you want. It just be amazing!

Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what the hell I meant in my memo because Harris is probably going to give me a pop quiz. Ugh, I hate homework."

"We can't just bullshit her into doing what we want. It sucks!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

She's not a spineless puppet like Trump. Boohoo!

I'm sold.

Even fake news sometimes delivers.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago

You have to actually do your job because you're boss does hers? Oh boo fucking hoo. Welcome to being an ordinary working class citizen, assholes.

A mindless mind will find a way to take a neutral or positive trait and find a way to spin it into a negative narrative, or in the case of the current journalism industrial complex and its' mindless little drones who fancy themselves "the fourth estate" - something alarming, shrill and hysterical, something to amplify high blood pressure.

My old boss who is now my bosses boss is like this. It's the best leader you can have IMHO. I don't want a yes man. I want someone to challenge my ideas and similarly I will challenge theirs.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I prefer a tough boss as opposed to one that wants everybody to like them. Lazy workers will walk all over the nice boss and good workers get stuck carrying the weight.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

In the presidenty? Absolutely. At the vast majority of jobs? I disagree. I want my boss to have my back and take care of his guys, to act as a shield between me and any ridiculous requests from higher levels.

"We prefer the guy who likes everything to be pictures."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Look, at least he can keep inside the lines...sort of...when coloring.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

He might be confused by complicated things like the American flag though.

N makes his own data up with sharpie

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

How evil of her to expect people to use their brain at work?

They need to keep their brain unused for when they smoke their state sponsored tobacco, which has all the right to use that brain.

To be clear, that's annoying from a figurehead position like veep to some. Being the perfect veep doesn't really qualify you to be president.

Yeah I'm not really excusing the Post so much as excusing the staff for complaining. If they get a directive from the West Wing, they're just out to jump and not ask why.

What makes you bad at being VP can make you good at being president.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

LOL. So she's like an English teacher, heaven forbid!

She had to hit the pedal to the metal and blitz events across the country with zero notice. Duh, she's going to be pretty picky about how her schedule is organized and what she deems most effective. That sounds like leadership material to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It is a fluff piece though, so should be taken with as many grains of salt as positive press pieces for Trump.

Look at this loser who walks around WITHOUT shit in his pants.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did they really frame it as a bad thing in the article?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I never read this as "Oh, that's terrible"; sounds pretty reasonable to me to think about your actions before doing them. Moreso if your actions affect other people.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Its terrible when they want a reason why they should do something I want them do. How can I the unelected minion get what I want when I have to work for someone like this.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is the equivalent of being bullied for being the only one who actually does your homework

Why did you remind the teacher we were supposed to have a quiz?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

CGPGrey, formerly a physics teacher, claimed the teachers know when they 'forget' most of the time. They're tired too and wanted to get away with not having to grade it. He even joked "that guy who reminds the teacher they forgot to collect the homework? We don't like them either."

I've been meaning to check out his videos for a long time. Interesting info. Thanks!
