Hmm, there is a God, or at least functional kharma

Not so long ago and not so far away I worked for someone with an ego so large he required airport personnel to steer him through doorways. Yes it was that bad.
To condense, nearly everyone else in management lost their job as a direct result of his incompetence. He witheld informaton coming in from corporate from us. Two paths of direction, we had to follow his since he was there; corporate was far away. We, in our ignorance and even bliss at that point, believed the two directions were one. Not so. Corporate deadlines and multiple tasks were missed or unknown entirely. Thank you very much Mr. Ego.
Well, I received word over the weekend that the mighty have fallen and my first instinct was to do a happy dance. Then the shame rolled in. Mr. Ego has a wife and children. Turns out the suffering of people at his hands is not quite done. I think Jacob Marley needs to go visit someone else...
