What a group of pompous asses. Back in the day when was I managing a large department, I always looked down the road for someone who take over on short order. I never feared for my own position. I had enough selfconfidence to know that I did a good job and would not be unseated by a subordinate until I allowed it to happen. In fact, many of my proteges went to promotions in other groups. What have these so-called directors become? The better question is what kind of people are they.. It’s a wonder she does not fire them all! What a group of pompous asses.
