5. Frankly, dear sister, it's YOU who refuses to deal with the problem and
move forward. If YOU had someone managing your office or running your company - or maybe watching your children - and they were derelict on their duties, like maybe a crisis erupts and they're AWOL for several days, while everybody else in the neighborhood/the office building is fully aware and busily trying to cope - and they're gone and there's no leadership and they're supposed to be in charge, but they're off wining and dining somewhere and having their pictures taken, and then when they finally do show up, all they choose to talk about, regarding the burnt-out office building or your evacuated home, was what fun they used to have getting drunk there...

And when perhaps they put the family cat in charge of the kids while they ran off to some spa, or maybe they called one of their frat buddies who happened to be "at liberty" to come and babysit the store/office, and this person didn't know his ass from grass and was NO good on this watch, would you be all that happy with him? Would you want to keep such an employee on your payroll?

Or, look at it this way - what if it was YOU who had botched this? What if it was on YOUR watch, and you were off relaxing somewhere when all hell broke loose, and then you resolutely remained "out of it" for days afterwards, while EVERYONE ELSE AROUND YOU was painfully aware of the catastrophe?

If YOU performed so poorly, do you think YOU would still be working? If you'd just cost the company millions of dollars and maybe one of its key buildings, do you honestly think that your boss would just shrug it off and give you credit just because you FINALLY and reluctantly concede that you MIGHT have SOME responsibility for it?

And if you're that mindful of numbers of people who allegedly supported him in the last election (which can be argued, by the way, considering how much voter fraud there was), perhaps you'll notice that there are substantial numbers of people, now, and yes, people who evidently DID support him, who have good enough horse sense to recognize a dismal job performance when they see one. Why can't you?
