EN FUEGO
The shadowy bloggers of Kent’s Imperative have been busy of late.
“The money quotes, in our opinion, for understanding the future of the disconnect between talent and management: “Heh,” I joked. “I bet the first time my boss finds out where I am is when he sees my photo on the front page of his own website.” and But the best punch line was that … he didn’t find out when it was on the front-page of his website – he found out when I posted that fact to my blog! “
Hey Tom ! Isn’t that what happened to you at NWC ???
UPDATE:
“How did Watman know I was conducting my secret negotiations?
My dean followed it obsessively on my blog after numerous professors told him they were fans of it and he became concerned I was growing beyond his control.
When I was confronted by charges of this conspiracy, I replied, “Yes, we were all in it together, me and my tens of thousands of readers.” Clearly, I would have made a terrible spy.”
Hat tip to the master of webmasters, Sean.

LOL! I sympathize. I had a situation very much akin to Tom’s earlier in my career insofar as I too worked for an obsessive control freak and became locked into a battle to death/Texas cage match with the jackass and me shooting my mouth off in grand style.
Have to give Tom the nod though for his comeback. Very nice.

Hebraic ‘webmaster of webmasters’ is nice, too 😉
