Your Friends The Golden Parachutes at Management and Our Buddies, the Shareholders. I thought you had a sweetheart employment contract at Ullico? Weren't you on the golden boy list at that ah small company? Didn't you get in on some killer stock deals with MCI, Tyco, Enron, and a few others. Isn't that why you can afford the double wide manufactured home in Calvert County? Drinking again? No, I've actually been working hard since 6:30 AM today. My first con-call with my India team. Figures you'd be involved in exporting jobs. Slime. It is my corporate overlords not me who made the decision to off-shore the jobs. But you willingly facilitate them. It is not a facilitation it is an agreement. I do what they ask me to do and in return they give me a bag of gold every two weeks. The interesting thing is that I can leave anytime I want with just a moments notice and they can do the same. What could be better? I haven't been fired since I worked at McDonald's as a teenager. When was your most recent termination for cause? Uh. Never. |

When was your most recent termination for cause? Uh. Never. With your belligerent attitude I find that hard to believe. Or, you could be one of those bosses toady's who follows him around say yes and wiping his ass when needed. You would get fired you would get layed off when you boss gets fired. |
