My cranial pressure is reaching the point of no return. I’m going to start bleeding from my eyes and ears if I have to listen to these idiots anymore.
I swear this must be how it felt to be an underling at Enron or some other company where the CEO is a complete buffoon and everyone knows it.
Actually, I've heard and read that it wasn't like that at Enron .... CEO Ken Lay and his successor Jeff Skilling and their catamitizing CFO (who was the one who got all the gays in the company quasi-marital benefits, from which nonmarried het couples of course were disqualified) were all, all "the smartest guys in the room" ..... actually, the guy who claimed to be overworked who bailed in 1999 or so, was the smartest guy in the room -- he took nine figures with him when he left the not-yet-sinking ship.
So they were all smart, and ruthless, and self-privileging .... but it was also true, that they collected under them a workforce of professionals by and large of whom it could be said that butter would not melt in their mouths. Very, very cool, impersonal people, and not very likeable. Or so I've heard, from people I knew there ... and something I learned about someone I dated who worked there. Frosty girl ....
