Sanford’s Lucky to be a Public Employee

h/t stillthedudeabides

Noelle Phillips and Kristy Epply Rupon of The State pose a simple question:

Take the Gov. Mark Sanford story out of politics and put it in the business world.

A Fortune 500 CEO lies about his whereabouts and then disappears without telling his executive vice president, board of directors or secretary where he is going. He turns off his phones. He’s gone for six days. When he comes home, it’s discovered he was overseas visiting a mistress.

What would happen?

Hint: it wouldn’t be pretty, but it would be pink. But don’t take my word for it — read the whole story at the link above. (See here as well, especially items 2, 3, 9 . . . well, lots of them seem to apply.)

Almost makes you wonder why GOP politicians like Lindsey Graham are so anxious to skip the private sector, market-driven response to a CEO in a situation like Sanford’s. Doesn’t Graham trust the private sector?
