Startling
But in a good way.
Had the opportunity today to go to a “town hall” with the new VP of my group.
Due to the merger with another, larger, company, things sure are changing.
The old VP (who has since left the company) was very straight laced, serious and business-head only.
This new VP, in reference to the changes we are going through and the fact that it is unpleasant said…
“It’s like that old joke…how do you eat sh*t?………very, very fast.”
We were all startled. I think it was a several moment pause before we laughed.
New guy curses a lot. He’s got that engineer sense of humor. And he seems really on top of his game. And he has a potty mouth!
Well ok! I can hang with that. To be honest, that being all serious and business-head was really hard for me to manage!
%$#*!!!
