VP Pulls Rank and Screws Employee, Gets Canned by Cool CEO


It seems like a rare moment when a higher up at the company doesn't get rewarded for going over the little guy's head and absolutely messing everything up. For pretty much the opposite side of things, here's a satisfying story of an incompetent boss who fired the employee ant the beginning of a meeting, then learned a lesson.

They said this move would save us $80,000 a month (we had like 4,000~ employees in the field) Well 2 months later we had a conference (we had 3 conferences a year) and after the conference, everyone went to the hotel bar. That's when I approached my CEO with another

Text - The CIO was there and said "CIO, your going to XYZ area and you will be riding with PJ, pay attention to how he uses his 4G data and if you think we should go back to the old plan where all devices had 4G" The CIO went into the field with me, on the 3rd day at breakfast he said "Last night I called the CEO" and I said "yea?" and he said "I made a recommendation that we go back to our old data plan and ensure all your devices have 4G data, its obviously creating productivity issues and whe
