City Poll: Is Olivia Getting The Job Done?

Erin Kaplan may not realize it, but this week on The City, Olivia Palermo stepped out of her comfort zone. Not only did she hop the subway down to Canal Street but she also haggled over faux-designer bags and resisted the urge to whip out the hand sanitizer the moment her skin came in contact with that sad, Valentino knockoff.

But for some reason, Erin seemed to think Oliva dropped the ball instead, because she told Joe Zee a line about how Olivia forgot the sunglasses, watches and jewelry, totally botching the assignment! Sure, Olivia may have come up a bit short, but couldn't she have cut her some slack?

On the other hand, Erin isn't exactly putting the weight of the world on Olivia's shoulders. She hasn't asked her to work overtime, skip lunch or cure cancer, just to do her job, and come back with multiple options (as in accessorIES, plural) that don't all scream "Olivia Palermo!"

You tell us: Is Olivia getting the job done?
Yes. She just needs to work on her people skills.
No. Talking back to your boss is never okay. Especially on Week One!
