Does it count as “surviving” if you make it less than two weeks at the job?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Two weeks around Trump cronies does sound like it'd feel like eternity, though I doubt any of them would make a single Scaramucci in fast food or anything at minimum wage. I may lower some of my morals for less but not as low to be working for Trump for any paycheque.
For the shortest tenures (or close) in the Trump administration it's amusing how well known he is just by political durations being measured by his employment.
Two weeks later:
Is he on trial for anything related to his 2 weeks?
I mean, fair. I’m not criticizing him for not sticking around, I just don’t know that “survive” is an accurate term.

One mooch in hand is worth two in the bush
I thought it was Spicer in the bush.
Holy cow, I completely forgot about Spicer. We've lived through a century in this past decade.
Oh you’re right. I mixed them up.
Wait... HOW many days was he there again? How is that suffering, or surviving for that matter?
I think one ~~scara~~mooch is 10 days, IIRC.
It's just mooch.
Thank you! Edited for clarity.
I feel for the guy...oh wait, that's just gas.
My grandnana always said it was good luck to throw two pinches of mooch over you shoulder when sitting down.
