The Apprentice

[Uncle Spielberg]

As Vanessa Veltz stated, the strongest candidate left (Brummie chubbo) is more akin to being a warehouse manager than a future leader. Good at barking orders and man managing in her outdated autocratic style, but an abysmal strategist. Now if that's the best left, what hope has sugar of finding someone decent?

The problem with Sugar is that a lot of the time he doesn't fire people based on the task, instead, he fires them on pre-conceived ideas of his, he's already judged all of them. He also doesn't seem to favour a good education or people from a good background which severely hampers his chances of finding anyone decent.

Overall, I'm basing some of my judgement on people Ive worked with, I remember being in credit derivatives at JPMorgan and seeing some of the younger crop come up (traders and marketers), who were all road scholars, street smart and f***ing good....I read recently that they had been poached by Morgan Stanley on guaranteed million+ bonuses - now I would have loved to see them slog it out against each other, there literally would be blood shed!! - I suppose another problem with the programme being able to attract the creme de la creme is the measly 100k salary and the thought of working for AMSTRAD lol!!

I think you've missed my point there, it's not as if any of them are car salesman in their own profession anyway and I wasn't explicitly referencing that task.

So Ms Feltz is now a character analyst and Sugar a wastrel with a crap style.

Even I know Dwayney that Sugar is considerably richer than you which is probably what really bothers you
