When you're so good at being so bad at your job that you get a raise.

Is it hard to remember to type ghetto while you're looking at balance sheets and making journal entries? Pretty sure you're probably an accountant "bruh"

officers eat last. From his time in the Army. Became a bit of a personal mantra.
Now, because Dave Brandon is incapable of understanding my fathers mantra, he must be spoken to in language he can understand... from the book of Al Swearengen: "Here's my counteroffer to your offer: go fuck yourself!"
November 30th, 2017 at 3:52 PM ^
Brandon must have missed his class on servant leadership
November 30th, 2017 at 5:54 PM ^
In Brandon's world the choicest cuts go to the CEO.
November 30th, 2017 at 1:54 PM ^
just give Brandon a free coke for his bonus
November 30th, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
sign him up for the Jelly of the Month club...
November 30th, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
Better yet, bring him to the Christmas party with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah!
November 30th, 2017 at 2:18 PM ^
Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?
November 30th, 2017 at 2:46 PM ^
dog kissing?

November 30th, 2017 at 3:49 PM ^
Or we could all chip in for a box of macaroni and cheese.
November 30th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
Can I be a shitty CEO, too???
oh...A free coke.
My bad...
November 30th, 2017 at 1:54 PM ^
he deserves nothing !!
November 30th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Hey, come on guys. It's not nice to make light of the situation of a guy that won't be able to give his family a Christmas now. This is just mean...

is actually a great idea!
November 30th, 2017 at 2:31 PM ^
Except...That would depend on the company being a publically traded company, T R' U didn't have any stock to short.

blood-sucking private equity firms. So, their stock is no longer publicly traded.

November 30th, 2017 at 1:59 PM ^
Fuck him.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:00 PM ^
Thanks for posting this. I made a comment about these bonuses that Mr. Brandon was trying to get at Thanksgiving and my uncle defended the move -- I'm glad to have some quotes to fire back at him.
November 30th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
November 30th, 2017 at 2:02 PM ^
Yeah, well, they'll need strong leadership to pull out of that nosedive. Open the wallet!
November 30th, 2017 at 2:05 PM ^
Hey corporate America, maybe don't throw any more gigs Dave's way.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:16 PM ^
Toys 'R' Us just wanted to make sure that their executives could live...Happily Ever After™.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:20 PM ^
I think you mean "executive's" could live... Happily Ever After.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
when it comes to Brandon, I think executives is just fine.
November 30th, 2017 at 2:30 PM ^
nice work
November 30th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
Brilliantly done!
November 30th, 2017 at 2:38 PM ^
November 30th, 2017 at 2:46 PM ^
...had a Dave Brandon WOW Experience.
It was sort of like, "WOW. He actually thought he could get this through without anyone noticing" (all the Kraft Noodles in the room are saying, "hold my beer.")
November 30th, 2017 at 2:47 PM ^
The excuse you always hear from apologists on these bonuses for bankrupt and bailed out companies is "contractural obligation". Heard that a lot in 2008-2009.
Horrible, horrible public policy. When your company can't pay the bills and you are sacking people left and right who rely on that paycheck to eat and maintain shelter, it should be illegal. There should be a law against even seeking bonuses of this size in such circumstances.
Talk about totally out of touch and cold.
December 1st, 2017 at 12:33 PM ^
Every now and then the French have the right idea.
November 30th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
Seeing actual justice done is always a pleasant experience thanks for sharing this great news Tasker Bliss! Welll done rookie post!

This is what he tried to do at Michigan. Pay himself exorbitantly and run the department in the red. It wasn't merely that Brandon imposed corporate culture at Michigan. It's that he imposed ineffective, bloated, tonedeaf corporate culture.

"It's that he imposed ineffective, bloated, tonedeaf corporate culture."
He basically attempted to design the athletic department in his own image then, eh?
