Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless

When I supervised a CS department at a credit card bank, I used to scare the shit out of a VP who would pass by our office. I'd be standing there with my headset on, "telling off" a customer. Of course, the customer had long since hung up the phone, and my headset was unplugged from the phone (you can probably guess WHY I unplugged it after every call).

He actually thought it was terribly inappropriate, but his boss would not let him do a damn thing about it. She was smart enough to realize that revenue from this group of merchants was up, retention of merchants was way up, absenteeism was way down. blah-blah-blah.

I've often suspected that a great number of adult webmasters brought home report cards marked "Needs Improvement" in works and plays well with others...
