[Heck] no. Evidently I immediately have to start convincing my manager to stay. |
As I've told him twice before, he needs to find another hobby. This one puts his career and his team's chances in jeopardy. |
At that time people didn't run a lot. Some woman in the neighborhood called the police and said there was a man running and that I must be up to something. |
At the same time, it is my responsibility to make the best decisions I can on behalf of the organization. Our plan is to continue to speak with Frank and his representatives over the coming months as more information is known about his health. |
