Why would that work now test

I hired a developer to help us launch All in the Family, but I’ve not heard from him in 48 hours. The always optimistic Anthony would have given him the benefit of the doubt. I would tell myself, “he’ll be back tomorrow.”

That’s approach never worked for me in the past, why would it work now. Every decision I make going forward must be run through the “Why would that work now” test.

I’ve started talking with his replacement.
