Certainly… And I understand wanting to protect your company.

But get busy changing the culture ASAP because it’s clear that they don’t want you.

At some point what’s your priority and where do you put your energy?

I don't know what's really going on. But if you get butt hurt because some called you a pussy, in public or not, well..... I guess crying to mommy is one way to handle it.

That letter reads like the complaints you'd expect from a bunch of 5th Graders during their lunch hour/recess! Roll Eyes

Honestly, you have to have Balls to operate in Project Veritas' line of work...If you can't even handle being called a Pussy, you definitely NOT suited for employment within that organization!

I'm certain all parties involved did not anticipate the backlash, if for no other reason than because they didn't expect this letter to be leaked. They felt like they could get this done before the word got out. Oops!

I have a feeling that "the board" is going to try to find a way out of this tomorrow.

If not, well, then they've managed to kill the brand, and if they think they're getting an earful now, just wait until that happens. That list of names on the previous page- oh, my. They had better turn off their phone, delete their facebook and twitter and lock the door because they will be in for a ride.

You may very well be correct, sdy, that the drive for O'Keefe's removal is coming from the shadowy leftists who bankroll useful idiots in this country. If that's the case, then the suggestion made by SIGnified that O'Keefe should create a new company would seem to be the way to go.

If he does manage to retain control of his creation, I can't imagine any of those employees will stay employed for too long. I think most of them would leave on their own, and PDQ. The ones who stay would likely face termination for any cause to be found or perhaps "downsized".

Is "the board" supposed to make their decision today?

Not that I've seen. And I agree that this was a paid for or threat to those taking out O'Keefe.

Also agree time for him to start over, but I wonder if he can truly trust any of his former workers.

UPDATE: The Veritas board's action details include that James O'Keefe will be on leave for at least 2 weeks, and that he cannot speak publicly about the situation

While I agree that James O'Keefe is the face of PV, and the organization has a track record of doing solid work, it wouldn't surprise me at all if his success and theatrics went to his head and he turned into a diva ... but, it also wouldn't surprise me if there were some on his staff that had a melt down. Either... or both... could be true.

It also wouldn't surprise me if some outside Leftist group infiltrated the organization and was looking to create chaos within the team.

There is a flip side to this coin that we need to be cautious of. Those same employees making the accusations, right or wrong, KNOW things about the operation. Donor lists, tactics, unidentified whistleblowers, current and future targets etc...and you don't want to alienate these employees or drive them into a position where they switch sides...or, worse yet, stay on and leak to the Leftists looking for his scalp.

PV works best in the shadows and with all of their success combined with his theatrics, I'm concerned they have been moving into the limelight, which may throw too much attention on what they do and and how they do it.

I'm hoping a compromise can be struck between James O'Keefe and the staff, to where he can ease up a bit, and they can suck it up a bit.

None of that will happen. No way O'Keefe can ever again have trust in anyone whose signature is on that letter.

The boss does not compromise with his employees.

This whole thing kind of reminds me of the time when Apple fired Steve Jobs from the company he founded back in the mid 80s. Even back then Jobs was an asshole, an autocrat who demanded control. And demanded perfection from employees. Apple floundered for years without him, made horrible decisions. When they hired him back, Jobs brought in the iMac and OS X and shortly after that, iTunes and the iPod. The rest is history.

But like others, I also think there is substance to the possibility that a leftist-driven coup happened at PV. In recent years, O'Keefe has been through a lot of shit, including the FBI wringer.

^^^

If the accusations are false, than I agree. Cut 'em loose, but there is a real danger to that move. But, if even some of the accusations are true, now would be a dandy time for James O'Keefe to self-assess, drop a mea culpa, explain how he values the team and let's get back to doing the mission. Tyrants don't do well on teams, and word travels fast.

There is a time and place for both firm direction and moderation, and a good leader recognizes when each is appropriate.

If they're true? Who gives a shit if they're true? All these accusations reveal is that he might be a jerk. Here's a newsflash. Most very successful, driven people are jerks. It's part of why they're successful.

He probably is an asshole, and I couldn't care less.
