A buddy of mine is on staff and we had dinner this weekend. I asked him about TT and he laughed and said that they call him "the guy with the keys to the bulldozer". He said he's been in multiple meetings with Turnipseep with ADs, senior admin folks, compliance, etc. and it's the same story every time. Thad walks in, lays out his vision for a certain project or his issues with current policies or procedures, etc. politely listens to any concerns that are expressed, and then just says "I appreciate that but this is what Brent wants, so we will be moving ahead, thanks". Meeting adjourned. #micdrop
