A former boss of mine. He did some very illegal and immoral and destructive things. I got dragged into a lawsuit because of him. I had to serve as a witness to what he did to several of my co-workers. Although many years have passed since all of this happened, the co-workers, two of whom are my closest friends, are still recovering from what was done to them.
We found out later that this man had left a trail of tears in every job he’d ever been in, but to get rid of him quickly, he was always given a stellar recommendation. That’s how he ended up at my company, and that is what happened to him once again when he left my company. It’s all legal bullcrap that happens when someone high up in the pecking order is brought in by the board of directors and then they have to buy out his contract to get rid of him, so that they won’t look foolish or liable.
I feel so sorry for the people that have to work with him now, but I have no way to warn them.
