Read the column, don't watch much TV so the poll was lost to me.
Having just dealt with a situation where I kept someone in a very critical spot in my company for at least two years after we should have parted ways, because I was loyal to him, I appreciated the column. What I can say is that after we did part ways, things got so much better for the company collectively and me individually that it's a night and day difference. Doesn't mean that taking that step wasn't tough, and that I didn't mourn, or that I bear this person any ill will. What I do know is that sometimes it's for the best to part company, despite how scary or tough it might seem. It's impossible to move on until you do.
Very tough to do. Life can get a lot better when it happens though.
