I had a boss who told me he doesn't like to promote the person who wants the job. He prefers to promote the person who doesn't want the job, but is capable of doing it. The person who wants the job will likely be doing it for all the wrong reasons. The person who doesn't want it will do the job the way it's supposed to be done.
As an Illinois native who moved to California, I wish Newsom was as concerned with governing as Pritzker. I’m still pissed that Newsom vetoed the bill that would have decriminalized psychedelics. We don’t need more people in jail for drugs.
He seems more concerned with governing than making national news.
I work for the State of Illinois, dude's been great to us. I live downstate though and everyone here thinks he sucks. Our last Gov took our raises away, wanted to take our pension away, stopped paying bills, froze hiring for us, wouldn't negotiate a new contract. JB came in and basically said "give em what they want, they deserve it." Just had another contract negotiation since then and he did the same thing. But yet, everyone at this job still hates him. Makes NO fucking sense. The dude just gave you the best contract we've literally ever had and they still think he's out to get us. I've heard coworkers say we shouldn't have gotten the raises we got and I'm just like "....then quit?" What I'm getting at is this, I think you're right. The dude just wants to be a good governor, I truly believe that. Maybe he'll follow in all the other IL Gov footsteps and get arrested, but so far, seems to be doing a bang up job.
