Pre-dotcom bubble
I worked at a small ISP, which had an even smaller hosting offering on the side.

The MD fancied himself as a massively technical guy, even going so far as to claim he'd hacked NASA or MCI or some such. Unfortunately, none of this was true. In any way. Whatsoever.

Nor were the claims he'd been an acclaimed consultant for various government and military organisations, or a security expert, or (insert fantasy-land role here).

He'd frequently throw an epi in the office for the smallest things, and took particular delight in relaying (read : smirking and gossiping) to the entire body of staff how someone he'd made redundant started crying.

Meetings were frequently started with the opener "I AM A GOD" as he described how he'd secured more work - invariably, a friend or relative who wanted a web page done.

In short, the man was a first-class cunt.

As luck / fate would have it, I also got made redundant and went on to better things (roughly 4 times better per month as it happened), his venture folded, but undeterred he went on to found another ill-researched money pit.

As I understand it, he's now remodelled himself as a management consultant.

File in : Fiction.

Cunt.

Er, you tried googling that?
Have you noticed that googling "A professional Programme, [...redacted to protect the innocent... cunt though he apparently is...] through to leadership and board room positions" gives exactly one result — a director of a certain tech company.

Maybe you're happy with that, but maybe you didn't mean to come quite so close to naming and shaming the abovementioned cunt?

Fuck me you're right
Best prune that. Well spotted. He's still a collosal cunt though.

OK, I've redacted it. If ever I'm offered a job by a certain Mr K though, I'll remember to turn him down. Thanks for the tip!

This man speaks the truth
Oh dear.

Needs more redacting.
A google search for the two phrases you mention brings up precisely one individual, who happens to have a surname beginning with the letter "K".

Fuck it
He deserves it. He is the third biggest wanker I have ever had the profound misfortune of dealing with. This is the guy who refused to let anyone from the company I worked for into the "secure server room", because they might compromise security - then left a webcam pointing at the door, unpassworded, open to the Internet, and clearly showing hostnames, customer names and IP addresses.

Humongous cockfag that he is.
