Career-wise, which is better? To be fired by Donald Trump, or to quit voluntarily?

Either way you get to write your book; however, IF you’re fired anything you say negative against trump, you seem to be publishing sour grapes…where IF you quit, you appear to be finally telling the truth!!!

I don’t know why anybody is willing to work for him. They get blamed for all the bad stuff and no credit for the good stuff. He insults those who work for him. There’s a churning of his staff and it’s ridiculous.

In this case, she should have resigned earlier, before she got mobbed at dinner and implemented the seperation of families at the border. If you have a moral compass that doesn’t mesh with your job, you have to decide and she chose to stay. Frankly it will probably be to her benefit imo, as her resignation was met with bipartisan support.

@KNOWITALL this may be a first. I totally 100% agree with your comment.

Was she that responsible for the horrible border fiasco? Or maybe she resigned in protest over it? That was my first thought, actually, that she could not condone what trump was trying to do with the border issues.

I would absolutely hate to work for trump, but from where I sit I want to beg the good people not to desert the ship / us.
But if I had to go, I’d much rather resign than be fired by some bloated, bloviated, orange, stupid buffoon.

@Dutchess_III She went along with his changes and plans, and is the one who was harassed at a restaurant by Trump protesters.

I have to say that there is one fascinating thing about trump, and that is, from what I’m seeing, literally NO ONE approves of him or tries to back him up in any way. I’ll see random comments from unknown users, but even among my conservative friends, not not one approves of him.

She may have “gone along,” @KNOWITALL because she had no choice, but I’ll see if I can’t find out

Today she said this: ”Nielsen spoke out for the first time since announcing her resignation outside her house Monday afternoon, telling reporters there is a “humanitarian crisis” at the border and emphasizing the need to address that. ”
She isn’t saying much beyond that, because she’s a professional. However, she did quit right on the heels of trump saying he wanted a tougher stand on immigration.

The thinking on the street (FB) is that the racist anti-immigrant adviser Stephen Miller is behind this because she wasn’t tough enough for him. I don’t see much difference between resigning or getting fired; I think in most cases in this administration you are told to resign or they will fire you.

Quit voluntarily.

Both are equally bad. Being involved with Trump in any way is going to leave a stain on your integrity that is difficult to scrub out.

Being within the generation that elected him is a blot on the entire generation.
