I think this is Timmy’s way of saying that the job market really sucks and if you are currently employed, you better hold on to the job.
Bingo.
Yes, Timmy boy thought the street thought he had talent and going to pay him the big bucks. Now that it’s obvious even to him that his only talent is screwing up, he is not going to give up a job.
He is and always will be a politically appointed hack with no track record of expereince, achievement or abilities. Just like his boss.
