Apprenti

I'm rather disappointed with this season, for many reasons. I can't even seem to force myself to be interested.

Apprentice week 3

Didn't catch it this time, "bill night" - yippee. Actually, the 2 minutes I did see were pretty lame. Who was fired?

Apprenti 2 (a bit late)

It's been two days so most of the episode is less than a memory, but I'll try. The wrong person was fired! The project manager of the losing team should have been the one to go. She allowed the "squeaky wheel" to not only "get the grease", but to throw it on everyone in the room.
What was done right?
- Not much outside of one team won.


What was done wrong?
- Just about everyone on the losing team let their fear of being labeled a “hater” cause them to lose.

Lessen for me?
- Don’t allow whining, obnoxious, load and proud subcontractors kill the job.

"Tent City"


I've lived in a "Tent City", what Trump offers up is not "Tent City". Actually what he's giving the losing team is a great chance to get their act together, if they could just stop whining.


What was done right?
-Winning team put their back into menial tasks
-Everyone seemed to give 110%
What was done wrong?
-Losing team’s leader seamed to give no clear direction.
-Losing team’s leader wasn’t aware of “weak links”.
Lesson for me to learn:
-Be more than willing to push a broom, swing a sledge, or push a dump cart when needed.
-Don’t be too into the whole “Boss” thang.
-Be aware of all workers talents, and help them utilize them.
-If the boss puts me into “Tent City”, stop the whining, and start planning the next time.

If you haven't guessed, I'm a fan of apprentice, even though I think Trump is a dweeb. Maybe next week I'll remember the team names! (Some fan huh?)
