Bob's Naivete on Display

In a previous post, I wrote about Bob's claim of trustee office rudeness and estimated that at most 0.6% of the total number of households feel they were mistreated.  Bob's comment to my post included the following statement: "ONE is too many. ONE is enough to be concerned."  It makes me wonder if Bob has ever held a leadership position.  Those of us who have held such a position know that when you are a leader/manager, you most likely will need to make difficult decisions and those decisions will not make everyone happy.  This is especially the case when you are a trustee and make decisions on poor relief.  That's just reality.  If Bob really thinks he can make everyone happy as the trustee, he's in for a reality check, which he desperately needs.  Although there is one way he could make everyone seeking assistance happy.  Don't deny anyone for any reason whatsoever.  But if he does this, the line at the trustee office for people seeking assistance will stretch around the block and he'll be lucky to have any money left over for fire protection.  Like I said before, there's always the all volunteer bucket brigade or Jimmy John's delivery drivers.

Thanks. It just astonishes me how naive Bob is. Does he live in the real world? I guess I already know the answer to that question.
