I thought of myself. I thought of what would happen to me in my previous corporate position if I had said anything close to what Scaramucci said.
I was amazed that he wasn't fired on the spot. I wouldn't be able to walk back in the office if something like that, "I'm going to Fire all those MutherF***ers!", had been published about me. It would simply be over. You can't recover from that.
I'm surprised he lasted this long.
In my own news radio days in northern California, I remember one of the station's DJs launching into
a ferocious and, yes, obscene tirade at one of the station managers over some bit of difference the detail
of which I've long forgotten, but an issue which
could have been resolved reasonably and for the
best of both sides of it. But he blew up out of nowhere---and was fired right on the spot. The DJ who
did the show following his happened to be in the station, luckily, and finished the shift of the now-fired
jock before doing his own. Which put him on the air for six hours straight. He was none the worse
for wear, but the other jock had a hell of a time finding a new job after that---he really shot holes into
what was then a nine-year career.
