A Desk Learns to Catch the Falling Knife
Every desk rule says never catch a falling knife. Yet in September 2018 Ron DeSantis appointed Wiles as chair of his 2018 gubernatorial campaign, a race already underway. Our risk officer, reversing a career of warnings, wonders whether the real rule is 'never catch it without a title.' Compliance begins printing badges that read Chair, for anyone willing to be handed the blade.
Founder Pitches Autosave for a Whole Country
In March 2021, Trump named Wiles to lead his fundraising operations, including Save America, and our founder, reading the committee's name as a software command, sketches an autosave feature for nations. Version history, offline mode, a restore button. His co-founder asks what the file format is. He pivots to a newsletter about saving, in general.
Memo: Every Portfolio CEO Needs a Bossie
MEMO. Per one account, Trump's campaign hired David Bossie to ensure that DeSantis could not interfere with Wiles's work for the campaign. Proposal: each portfolio CEO receives a Bossie, whose sole duty is keeping our own co-investors away. Metric: interference incidents, target zero. Risk: the Bossie's annual review cannot be written without an incident, so Legal suggests co-investors interfere, once, quarterly.
Trustees Adopt the Competitor Overlap Score
Trustees meet to adopt the Competitor Overlap Score, inspired by a record that Peyton had sought a US$750 million proposal for Waste Management while Wiles worked for its rival. The score counts how many bidders share one adviser. Our search consultant advises both finalists and the committee, scoring a perfect four. The minutes call this 'ecosystem coverage' and file it under Landfill.
Permit Desk Seeks the Person Who Knows the Easements
Appraisal: Wiles became the first female chief of staff of Jacksonville in November 1997, under mayor John Delaney. A city-hall coordinator is, in our experience, the rarest part of any permitting chain: the one person who knows which department owns the easement. We rate the role highly. Our packet, filed in March, still addresses that person as 'to whom it may concern.'
Form 7: Swapping Checkpoints, One for One
Our new Checkpoint Exchange Form borrows its layout from the prisoner exchange of the Russian entrepreneur Alexander Vinnik, one party out, one in. Box one: what we hand over. Box two: what we receive. Both labs filled in the forms, shook hands, and ran evaluations. Each discovered the incoming model had been distilled from its own outputs. Box three, 'Net change,' is blank.
Three Words Too Short for Self-Criticism
Clerk Lin reads that Wiles left a struggling campaign, and she told the Miami Herald that it was just time. 'Three words?' the deputy asks. 'Where are the four pages of self-criticism?' A stenographer is ordered to expand the remark. By dusk the pamphlet runs four hundred pages, and no reader can find the moment when it was time.
Posted Notice: When One Job Becomes Two Titles
Step 1: Note that after the November 2022 announcement of Trump's campaign, Wiles and Chris LaCivita shared the campaign manager role. Step 2: When your supervisor splits your job the same way, ask whether the pay is split. Step 3: Ask whether the blame is. Step 4: Await the answer, delivered as one title shared by two clipboards.
If a Campaign Can Find a Manager in a Week
When Rick Scott announced a run for governor of Florida in April 2010, Wiles joined his campaign as campaign manager a week later. So why does my firm need eleven months to name who supervises the workflow that replaced my team? Who manages the bot's manager? And if titles can arrive this fast, why does my severance still sit in a folder labeled 'Pending'?
Blamed for the Release Nobody Asked Me About
Confidence Man says Trump berated Wiles over an advertisement that was aired without her consent. I know that choreography. Last quarter a contractor's branch shipped without my sign-off, and the incident form lists me as 'Consulted,' timestamped after the outage. The postmortem thanks me for my ownership, a word that, in my experience, covers the cleanup and never the decision.
Footnote: Reimbursement Requires an Employee ID
One biography notes she asked Trump to cover only her travel expenses,¹ a tidy, closed request. Mine reached a final round four hundred miles away. ¹ The posting promises to cover travel expenses; the claim form asks for an employee ID, which is issued upon hire, which follows the interview I traveled to, which I am still paying for.
