That dreaded taskbar strikes again!
I'd love to have seen his reaction. He either appologized 1000 times and felt stupid, OR he got angry and threatened the IT guy for making him look stupid.
There is no inbetween.
Oh I have no doubt he got angry that the IT guy made him look stupid. Everyone on the support desk already knew his reputation so it wasn't going to get any worse with us. I wish I had been around long enough to see what happened with his next demotion, because there was no possible way he was going to last even a year, I just can't figure out how he made it to such a high initial position in the first place (unless he fudged his resume and got hired into it).
I've never met this man in my life and I am 100% confident it was the latter.
