I think maybe he got fired and had to sign an NDA to not discuss it, so in 6-12 months we'll know what happened after he went all rogue and Braveheart.

He got promoted, It's standard in the High Tech Industry.

Incompetents that reach a level of incompetence low enough to be dangerous for the business are promoted to a new job a little bit higher in the food chain, that way they will have to learn new things to be incompetent on, thus making everybody safe for a while.

This explains my entire life. Odd.
Also, do yout think Epo is a stalker or just good with titles. It's like he knows me, but without, you know, knowing me? Is this a custom title or was it ever shared by a long line of fuck wits? I ponder my existence....

Seems like a good place to resurrect this chart.

Yeah, and the sad part is that people like me, that are not that bad at their job ( it's to avoid the dreaded good at my job phrase ) will have no chance of being promoted...  Cry

Looking back, I shouldn't have developed a few critical skills like X.25 protocol analysis/configuration/troubleshooting on the fly, and waved my arms mindlessly while running in circle some more.  Roll Eyes
( on the other hand those critical skills protect me in time of lay off, as I'm classified as a hard to replace asset  Roll Eyes)

I know exactly how you feel. Technical skills have very little value in the real world. Until things fail. Then they come looking for you. Smiley

I know everything, that title was made custom just for you. You are the first to wield it, and you do so well.

He is a workaholic who has introduced a huge number of changes to the game - all signed off by his superiors.

His public blame-game post will have annoyed the bosses, but I cant see them firing him. Instead they will have moved him to a non-public role so he can continue to work 6 and 7 day weeks pumping out huge amounts of rubbish, but not with the ability to deal with us commonfolk.

And remember, he is a great employee. They only sack the bad ones. He told us so.

Feather's new job consists of random responsibilities assigned every day when he shows up in his beret and scarf.
