Well some serious poop hit the fan today in the office, and it was spectacular.
Our main financial analyst gave her notice today, to her boss (the CFO) who was in to sign some docs (he's currently on vacation). Oh, to have been a fly on that wall!
It's a bitter sweet moment...
Bitter because she was one of my fav co-workers. A real sweetheart of a gal. Amazing at her job and a real asset to the company.
Sweet because her boss, like mine, is an A-list ass hat. And he deserves what he's getting. The beauty to this is that he's only been here for about a year and a half, originally contacted as an assistant or some such to the General Manager (remember her...? She's gone now) He's been the CFO for about 8 months, and he hasn't a clue what this company is about, far less any actual acumen for Finance. (It really amazes me how these people get upper management positions) Basically she's been carrying his sorry ass to get things done in the Finance dept. And all during that time he's treated her like crap. He really is a dick. Personally, my interactions are few but even I know more than he does about how this company runs. He asked her to stay til the end of the first week of Sept to help him with the Month and Quarter End. She flatly told him no. (GOD why couldn't I have been there for that?!?!)
Then for the next 45 minutes he was out pacing in the parking lot on his phone, constantly either rubbing his temples with his free hand, or flailing it about.
It was most entertaining to watch.
We'll survive this loss of a great employee, provided they are able to find a qualified replacement. I just hope it does not start an exodus. If it does, I hope those in a position to nail it down and chuck the deadwood...
In the meantime seeing a useless cog in the wheel bouncing about is some entertaining consolation.
