I have been called an asshole many times, but not concurrently. I have made people cry. People of course, I don't much care for. I have never, however, been an asshole to someone that was able to prove greater than myself. I have never been an asshole out of jealousy.
So what do I mean and where am I going with this. Well there are many people who we must look at and wonder what the hell happened to you. These are the people I often refer to as drama queens (for the sake of cleaner words), or absolute stupid cunts. I am not sexist because I also will be an asshole to guys that wear abercrombie cologne or guys who dangle their thinking head between their legs. OK, so I hate people, regardless their sex, who feel money is more important than, well, anything.
These people will take on the shape of a perfectly shaped 18 year old woman in a short skirt willing to fuck your brains out. My point is they seem great...at first. This same person gets a little money, and with it, a shit ton of greed. Then they become the behemoth fire breathing dragon they really are. This person may be referred to or compared to any "great" leader. The problem is they get comfortable with what it really takes to be "on top". I mean of course forgetting what got you there in the first place.
Very few greatly successful people got where they are from good intentions and goal reaching. Maybe they reached their goal but in return they were forced to give up goals like "Helping the needy", "trying to help...blah blah blah any businesses mission statement". THEY FORGOT!
Well here's the deal. I am a successful business owner being sued by my ex employer. My ex employer started his company of website development as a trained electric engineer. Alright so with the obvious, huh?, aside, he hired people to do the work. He figured as an engineer he was so damn smart he could run a business he knew nothing about by hiring people who knew what the hell they were doing. All he had to do was sell a product he was uneducated about and beg his real developers to come up with a way. I mean I understand a used car salesman going out on a limb and blatantly lieing to the buyer but an engineer??? A well respected small town business man?
Well as I saw this happening naturally I felt sorry for this man. I thought he pays me, not good, but he pays me so I should try to help. Not only was this engineer so damn business savvy that he went from 8 employees to 1 in the matter of a year, he was smarter than the developers he hired! He met my educated ideas with his uneducated greed. Naturally I was not down to take this.
So what did I do? I was an asshole to this man. I am smarter, I am right, and I am no engineer. I can see why he's upset, right? I was fired by him just after a year of employment for not fulfilling a required attendance of hours to be worked in a week. I was a salaried employee as was all of us to the best of my knowledge. I was forced to work using pirated software which constantly did not work correctly. I was forced to build things for the web that could not be done in the ten minutes this engineer quoted them. I was yelled at for this, yet he was the intelligent one.
This same man who is suing me said this to a client who asked him what version of photoshop he was using, "Photoshop 7",which was pirated, "I do not believe in being on the cutting edge of technology". This is a web development company and being an educated employee of this firm I was embarrassed to hear the owner say this. Needless to say we did not get that project.
So why was I an asshole to this man. Well for the same reason I stated earlier I have never been an asshole to anyone that was able to prove greater than myself. This lawsuit was brought on by the same principles that has been the demise of his company in the first place. The principles of GREED. He is an angry man and he should be I am helping in his demise. I mean he should be mad on the surface, but if he actually decided to use the ideas an engineer is taught he would be able to systematically realize he was indeed the reason he failed. He was the asshole before I was forced to be one. He constantly shit on his talent in order to keep chewing his pride rather than swallowing it.
I will win this lawsuit and that I am sure of. I will, however, be completely unable to help this pitiful man.
