I briefly worked at a place where our new CEO’s claim to fame was purportedly that he was either the CEO or some other big muckety-muck (I don’t precisely remember the title he was claiming) at Circuit City. Notably, this would have been perfectly aligned with the time frame in which Circuit City tanked if this were true.
I mentioned during an all-managers conference call that this did not, in fact, provide a sterling endorsement for either his reputation or business acumen. Do you know, that observation didn’t exactly make me popular among upper management.
