Has anyone been able to do their jobs and get away with " I didn't know, I didn't read it

[tulipsandroses]

Nobody told me, I didn't hear it?

Unfrigginbelievable! Not even a fry cook could get away with this. ( Not trying to demean fry cooks) - Nobody in any job would be able to get away with abandoning the duties or their jobs.

1. That's right.

People have been fired for so much less. Yet this man who has been grossly incompetent in everything he has done gets a continuous pass from republicans. It only proves that the entire Republican Party is corrupted and hates the idea of democracy and of an America that strives for the good. It is disheartening.

2. Oh, sorry...

I don't know how to respond or what to say because I didn't exactly read your OP and nobody has told me about it, nor have I heard anything along those lines.

What was this about? I don't know you.

3. That would be a reason for dismissal for anyone else, a refusal to do the job

Trump has done nothing expected of a POTUS, he just uses it as a public platform to disseminate his deplorable views and to bask in the public attention. As for Republican senators, they only follow Trump and McConnell - who refuses to pass a thing.

4. Maybe one time. Get chewed out and don't repeat the mistake again. Nt

Of course no one died if I messed up an order.

5. I think elites do it

People without consciences. I recently found out I got bum advice from a dentist I thought was a prince of dentists. I asked him about it and no reply. I can only surmise some people do not have consciences.

There are people surrounding Trump propping him up. They are sublimating their own consciences too. People often lie if they think you aren't worth telling the truth to. I doubt Trump thinks anyone is worth telling the truth to.

Many Hollywood movies have that scene where the killer has someone tied up and the person tied up says, please tell me the truth, since I am going to die anyway. A classic psychological setup.

6. I've had managers chew me out even when I did my job...

By-the-book, yes I read the directions, email, manual, procedure, et cetera. Some managers just assume their employees are screw-ups. Trump’s never had any job where he had to be accountable, whether to a good manager or a bad one.

7. trump, so far.

If you take out the "do their job" qualifier.

8. I work in an industry that sells contracts.

Not knowing what is in those contracts, the laws associated, etc. will get my ass fired ASAP.

9. And after he said that OTHER lie...

Bolton told the AP he told him (voice to ear...) in March... LAST YEAR.

10. All the time!

I'm a doctor, so if I don't want to get up at 3am to deliver a baby, I just pretend I don't hear the phone. Works like a charm!
