Lessons in Dignity for the Apprentices
Lessons in Dignity for the Apprentices by Roxanne McDonald

Kentic may have “gotten another piece of riff-raff off” their team last week, but this week they actually suffered a great loss. |
Consider how team players like express relief at Aimee getting fired, especially after the way she handled leaving. As he says, “It was like the ending of The Omen.”
Now consider their new PM, Jenn, the publicist.
She stepped up, volunteered to be the project manager.
When their team lost, she defended their group efforts, saying she would stick by her team, for it was “not like anyone was a colossal screw-up.” She even comes to the defense of individuals, saying how, for example, Derek’s go-cart idea was their only resort…for want of better ideas for activities.
Hmmm. Notice how she does not displace responsibility, does not re-assign blame, insisting it be on everyone but herself?
Jenn also speaks clearly, articulately, and boldly (but not brashly), suggesting to Trump that before he fire her….
Outside in the driveway is another testament to how some Apprentice candidates are anything but and have no balance of fairness and dignity, while others are model individuals: not only is Jenn escorted outside by all of the members of Kinetic, and not only does no one sneer or snipe at her in the process, but everyone of the remaining players hugs her lovingly, individually, and even in tandem.
It may be reasonable that Jenn was fired, but she certainly could not be said to be a sore loser, a crass act, or one who “deserved” to go to Tent City.
Lovely human being.
