ladies and gentlemen,
if there is one thing i learnt, it is don't fuck with anyone (male or female) who holds the titles chief operating officer. the last time i did, i ended up warming my bed for at least 6 months. the story goes, i was young and naive; working in a job i loved and had a boss whom i looked up to. however the boss wasn't exactly straight laced and behind every deal he made, he almost made sure there was some to cover the pockets. i guess that's why we liked him because the cash would never stop coming in. As i rose amongst the ranks to number 2; the figures got BIGGER and i knew he was bound to be found out. True enough he got called and well ...handshake and he was off.
in came a new bloke which i shouldn't fault as the new guy was working against the blocks. so i called it in and threw in the towel. The then newly appointed COO called me in, drank some beers, told him i wanted to leave and after the dust had settled, i left. not without fuckin it up; i sent a mass fax to all dealers about the shit gone on and how fucked up the whole shithouse is. Then next morning i had a call from the COO, shouting match and slamming of phones. next thing i know i was eating out of a box for the next 6 months. wrong fuckin move son.
i regretted that terribly. what can i say? i was young.
fast forward to today, i saw a mass email regarding some issue at work and true it enough it just took mere seconds for the COO to respond with a "i would like to know the purpose of XXX sending out a mass delivery ...." all i can say is ....
to say im not sympathetic, i am but everybody's gotta learn someway, somehow. i am sure she will wish she can turn back the clock and not click that "reply to all" button or swear where there were such things as emails.
but one thing is for certain .... i sure ain't gonna feel the brunt for this.
