I was once on the staff of a VP who had very high expectations of his directors and department managers. We had turnover too. But he had a job to do that he counted on us to do our jobs with the expected commitment so he would meet his deliverables to our CEO and our shareholders. He was tough, but he didn't abuse and he didn't bully. Maybe Amy didn't either. Abuse is not synonomous to being strong or demanding.
She's going to be on Rachel tonight. I expect it will come up and it will be interesting to see what kind of questions Rachel asks her about it.
