Should Donald have fired Bradford? Why?
EDIT: or why not?

I don't think so. It was a brash thing for Bradford to say, but he was referring to his performance on that particular project, and don't you want your executives to be confident?
Bradford was the only one on that team who knew dick about anything.
I agree. He practically carried the team and he knew it. He was confident his performance on that project was exceptional. Should not have been fired. I don't believe Trump would have fired him in real life....makes me wonder if it wasn't some sort of ratings booster/shock value ploy.Originally posted by flashback

Blatant arrogance should never be tolerated, and Bradford should have known this. If you are arrogant and, frankly, naive enough to do such a moronic thing, you deserve to be fired.
If I were Trump, I would have fired him also. That's such a bushleague stunt to pull.
He shouldn't have been fired. He gave Apex direction. The ladies are too busy fighting amongst each other.
I like what Bradford did. He showed confidence, plus to me
he was saying I'm a team player. In business, no one has
immuntiy. I feel like he was being a leader in saying he would
give up his immunity.
It backfired, had it not he would have made a strong statement
to his team and been hard to take into the boardroom.
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die
of natural causes.
It wasn't arrogance it was confidence...generals lead their troups into battle which is what he did in this instance. Of course they watch from the back of the pack...but all the same. It was a stupid move on his part but I wouldn't have fired him over it.
I completely disagree. Given the situation, he should not have done what he did. It doesn't matter if there's no immunity in business - this isn't business, this is The Apprentice. There are rules. He should have taken advantage of the rules and taken the sure thing.
Giving up immunity because you're so sure of your actions reeks of arrogance. It's one thing to be confident; its another to be arrogant. An arrogant individual is not a person I ever want representing my business.
I missed most of ep. 2. What was the "life-threatening" decision that Bradford made? Trump referred to it in the flashback intro.
Ya know what TheDane...I think you are right. In my earlier post I looked at it as confidence on his part, which is a good thing. But your post made me look at it from a view of arrogance...and that can be dangerous in running a company.Originally posted by TheDane

*Slams head into desk wondering how I missed that when I watched the show*
SkinsNut73, I don't blame you, Confidence and Arrogance are so often transposed. It's the true business leaders that exude confidence without the putrid air of arrogance.
Translating this scenario into the real world: if my business ever gained a competitive advantage such as "immunity," I would NEVER consider giving it away. Why forfeit such a gift? Again, only arrogance could make such a blunder.
He gave up the immunity he earned from week one. He was so confident in his performance in week two, that he was sure he would not be fired. Trump laid into him about what a stupid, stupid decision that was...and fired him.Originally posted by Soliloquy

Them bitches on 3rd episode got rid of stacie j. Thats what you call ganging up on somebody. Hardcore
Still I liked the move, it was bold. I know in business you
can't be afraid to take risks. Like the old saying, "no risk
no reward".
I still see it as confidence in what he did. He shouldn't
been fired over the call.

If he had defended his decision with confidence, he probably wouldn't have been fired, but he just sat there and agreed that it was a stupid move.Originally posted by riggins44

Great players make great plays
He was fired because Donald knows that the infighting among the women makes for better tv than Bradford doing a good job and coasting.
