Is this really the way the new administration should be treating people? I think it's purely shameful, and agree with Sal that there's nothing at all normal about this. It's high handed, dictatorial tactics personified.
Otherwise known as BULLYING.
I'm thoroughly appalled.
Kindly show us the source and link to your allegation of being ordered to turn around in Europe and come home. If they're high ranking, they serve at the pleasure of the President. Do you know how that works?
Can't you even read?? I've already allowed as how I just heard it in passing on the news and haven't had a chance to check it out. I'm heading to bed now but maybe by tomorrow I can get you your desired link (which, admit it, you hope I can't find).
As for serving "at the pleasure of the President," I come from a career in corporate American so I know perfectly well how that works. I also know first-hand that firing employees in this way is needlessly heavy-handed and demoralizing for EVERYONE in the organization. Do you know how THAT works??? Or maybe you're a bully, too, and love seeing this kind of thing happen. It's short-sighted and the mark of an insecure and small minded "leader" -- and I use that term advisedly in Trump's case.
Oh, I read it, I simply wanted you to emphasize, by repeating, that it had come to you out of the wind!
I don't hope you can't find it, I know you cannot. Besides, they knew they would be fired with any new administration. They'd have been fired had Crooked Hillary Clinton won the election.
