Once in awhile you discover something that lets you know there is payback in the universe. I discovered this photo of David Foote. You know the guy who is in every office, who is so arrogant he has no need to work with other people, other departments. But for some reason management likes this guy and he gets ahead. Then one day, whoosh, your fairy godmother abandons you and he’s your manager. Not only arrogant, but sexist and thinks he is soooo funny with his corny jokes that make people smile only because of his position.
Well suddenly he leaves the VP position and goes to head up Wealth Management Region at another bank. Not really a step up, something went awry. A smaller bank, headquartered in Texas, and you get a region, not a division. Then a couple years pass and he is a Manager at a United Way office in central Florida. Whoa – now that is truly a big change.
Know the term Schadenfreude? It applies here, my joy at seeing him go down. He is only in his mid 50’s, hardly time your career ends.
Maybe there is a good reason he moved to Florida. But not even with a bank after his job experience. No coming bank up to Senior Bank V.P. from here. And he works with a lot o females. Wonder if he has them take notes and get coffee? Would he dare ask that of the Chairperson? Especially in his position?
Let me gloat some more… I like it. He was too arrogant and let’s think it caught up with him.
