    Font - RatherOverlt @adamvsatom Replying to @tiffmc1013 The fact that the Manager was still texting like he had the power in this situation. "You gambled and you lose." Really? I just can't get past how a narcissistic personality disorder seems to be a prerequisite for a corporate management position.

Later the old boss called about helping with a lawsuit that only he knew the details of. Normally he would have helped for free. Needless to say, his consulting fees GREATLY exceeded a weeks vaca раy.
