A few years ago, the VP I reported to hired a guy without telling me. It may have been a diversity hire, but I didn't care as long as he put his head down and did his work. The guy thinks he's fucking awesome, brags about how great he is at everything, but all his shit is a day late and with lots of mistakes. If it's up to me, I'd fire his ass, but it's not up to me.
On Monday, the project team went to Malibu for a meeting with the Owner. Malibu is awesome, but the drive sucks. But he said "It was alright. I rented a car that made the drive enjoyable" and shows me a picture of a Porsche Boxster. I'm thinking... this guy probably makes $85K, has a wife who doesn't work, and 2 girls, how in the fuck does he have the money to rent a Porsche?
This morning I got a call from my boss asking if I knew the guy had rented a Porsche and was trying to get reimbursed. I fucking bust out laughing. What a fucking dumbass. I hope they'll understand when I try to fire him.
