At dinner, he spoke and reminded us that there were ten resumes on his desk for every one of our positions. He suggested he could fire us on a Friday and meet our customers needs by Monday. He then handed out awards to the $hit stirrers, including plane tickets to attend strategy meetings at the main office headquarters. By Monday morning those guys were all fired and replacements hit the ground running. It was a cruel joke played on them.
Not trying to one up you but I once saw a similar scenario as a fairly new employee in the DoD.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, the black lead manager in my building was under investigation for questionable behavior in regards to subordinate White females.
Off color comments and suggestive Christmas cards is what I heard later.
An addition to our building was just completed in support of the Navy F-18 Strikefighter.
All personnel were in attendance as the commanding officer of our facility came down for the cake cutting and took the opportunity to present the manager under investigation with a civilian award and congratulated him on his impending retirement, to which the manager said “I’m not retiring”.
He was gone the next week.
The cards were what did him in.
That A-hole was a racist tyrant that used his position to promote blacks while holding non blacks back and antagonizing White employees.
He got exactly what he deserved IMO.
