#1 A person has to be really driven to achieve this level in the workplace. But some of that drive should probably go towards respecting the other people in the workplace.

#4 Take your retirement. You're qualified to run for a progressive Senate seat already held by some other driven old battle axe who's due to drop dead in office.

#5 Putting her funky a$$ in the SAPCO office doesn't seem to be a real feather in one's cap career wise in route to a fourth star. This broad just needs to put in her retirement paperwork and GTFO.

#6  Dunlop made employees cry, gave them sleepless nights and humiliated them
In today's Air Force wouldn't that make her a good Drill Instructor? Or too harsh for that too?

#7 Dunlop's lawyer says she is making an effort to mend her ways

Must have really been bad for her attorney to say this.

#8 My first Boss was a Screamer and a Micromanager combined. He also had a fine touch at handling his job -- a skill that gradually declined as age inevitably eroded his focus and vitality. Sounds like she has reached the point where she can't micromanage effectively any more and is having temper tantrums because the Staff (that she browbeat into being mindless drones) ...Just doesn't show any initiative!

#9 No mention of warnings frm the chain of command. Her removal could have beem done quietly, with respect. But that would not have provided a WOKEE event

#10 Thanks for the [DM] warning. Dunno if there are people who can actually read that site but trying to find the content among all the blinking ads and videos is too annoying for me.

#11 Assigned to turn around an organization that did not want to be turned around? One goes in knowing one will be hated long before the job is done, and accepts the necessary sacrifice of one’s career thereafter out of love for the company, because all the bridges will be burnt in the process and senior management will not have one’s back.

Or possibly she was a management problem before that, and the Air Force tried shoving her in a corner of the organization where her lacks didn’t matter — her previous reputation would shed light on this. We can’t look to the Daily Mail, as they are incapable of formulating such questions, never mind seeking out the answers.

Dunlop was removed as director of the Special Access Programs Control Office, or SAPCO, and now serves as the Air Force's director of capability requirements.

Witnesses also described Dunlop is an extraordinarily talented and accomplished officer who meant well and wanted the Air Force to succeed.

She believed that SAPCO was a broken organization that she was meant to come in and fix.

In a statement provided to Air Force Times, Dunlop's lawyer, Gary Myers, suggested that Dunlop's efforts to reform SAPCO led to the IG complaint against her.

Myers said that Dunlop is grateful that the Air Force considered her response alongside the IG report when deciding to allow her to continue serving.

Several witnesses said they tried to talk to Dunlop about the way she was acting in meetings and the climate in the SAPCO office, but found her unreceptive to the feedback.

#12 Looks like the SAPCO had its own "deep state".

#13 I don't think that Gunny Ermey would cut it in today's military.

Worked for an ex Air Force Colonel many years ago. Apparently he had been in the equivalent of HR and a bigger wussie I've never seen.

#14 UwU There's the ticket. Hollyweird is all in for remakes and wokeness, make it into the Caine Mutiny with a female lead!

"General Dawn removes the steel balls from her pocket and she spins them in her palm insistently as she speaks. ... I tried to run the office properly by the book but they fought me at every turn. If the staff wanted to walk around with their shirttails ..."

#16 So, she was acting more like an XO than a CO?

Strips all that out.
