I believe part of the turnover is due to workload. I bet Trump’s working 70 hours a week and demanding a similar level of commitment from his staff.

Bingo KC. I read an article that most Beltway bandits are drug users, aka uppers to do the workload and a downer to get them to sleep. PDJT happens to be blessed w/ a metabolism we'd all dream about. Add to that the toxic environment of Mueller, the House or Senate calling you in and your looking at 300k+ in legal fees to defend you own backside and it is a no wonder people are leaving what the frig was Sessions thinking. Hope Hicks is a prime example. All of what 28 and maybe pulling 140k a yr and they start talking calling her in and needing high price attorneys, I don't blame her one bit for leaving. I so revile the Swamp and it's behavioral norms, what a vile place.....

President Trump's approach to the job of being president is actually pretty standard to anyone who has been involved in construction management.

My wife finally convinced me to retire at the age of 70 having completed another construction manager position on a $1.6 billion dollar project overseas where we had over 2,000 workers in a remote camp job.
President Trump's work schedule is pretty standard in this industry; my day began at up at 4am, breakfast at 5, first staff meeting at 6 am. Meetings all day, work site visits all day, and leave the office at 6 or 7 pm and being on call 24hrs/day. This for 21 days straight, no weekends off, then fly home for 5-days of which 1 1/5 days were involved in travel time.

I did this type of schedule from Africa to South America, often on a 5-weeks on, 10-days off rotation.

You are correct; it is difficult to find dedicated people who will work in this type of demanding schedule...but being paid WELL is a wonderful incentive!!

This is all standard for President Trump

I would think that any advisor to any President works 7 days a week, far into the night.
