My New Computer!

That's your career accomplishment to date. You were meat for a team to feed to the clients.

I was on the team that kept the clients happy. Not clients ordering $1000 PCs to download porn on, like you do...but clients who order computers worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

That is quite a career accomplishment for somebody who hasn't even finished his degree yet. A standing job offer from IBM as part of a software architecture team before one even graduates is also quite promising, I'd think.

I've already made it past that.

And I never took phone calls from clients, I called them.

And of course I won't be CEO of IBM. The idea is to start my own company after ~10 years or so in industry.

You'd be lucky if you could convince any normal human being to follow you out of a burning building.

I'm happy with where I am.

Ever see the recurring MadTV skit, "Lowered Expectations"?

You couldn't be more wrong, "son".

You aren't a leader, Dave. You're an example of a social malfunction.

[notyoueither]

You don't influence people. You bludgeon them.

I fear you are past the point of learning the difference.

I've been a leader in my many group projects in school and got compliments about my leadership ability in my 360 Feedback at IBM.

Something is telling me you're not qualified to make such a statement, especially given you're the kind of whiner who will repeatedly accuse your closest competitors of cheating in fantasy sports leagues.

Wait to recover, Dave. Bring up the situation where you have repeatedly gone haywire in human interactions and made an ass of yourself. Repeatedly.

I'm convinced that you can not learn.

Had it been a professional situation, you would have been fired long before it got to that point. Lying is not something I tolerate as a leader, especially at least twice in a row.

This is why you're self-employed, I take it.

As if you have a clue about what gets you fired.

Chances are you'll have ample examples handed to you over the course of your career, which stands to be rather short with the way you get on, or don't, with people.

I'm pretty sure lying, scheming, and generally being an idiot is good for it.

Honesty and competence is the key to not getting fired, had you possessed either trait you would have been far more successful. I'm sure you coming into work late and hung over every morning didn't help.

[notyoueither]

Well then, you were both dishonest and incompetent. You should have been fired.

Oh no, child, this is about you.
