Four

Last week I got together with the Wasp lawyer for lunch.  Wasp told me Turkey is on his fourth secretary since me. So in four months, he's gone through four people. What is there to say about that except that the problem working for Turkey wasn't me?

Wasp also shared that as crazy as Turkey was when I was working with him, he's even more crazy now. When he owned his own law firm, nobody ever really went up against him, because he could fire them. Turkey loved that. He thrives on drama, and always pushed things as far as possible, just to watch and see how people would go crazy trying to fix his mistakes or his intentional throwing of them under the bus.

Apparently a few weeks ago, Turkey told his new (third?) secretary at the new firm that he needed some original document from our building manager, and he needed it urgently. I guarantee you that what happened is that two months prior, Turkey's insurance company or someone let him know they needed this thing, and he chose to wait until the day after the deadline before announcing his need to the secretary. Urgently, because that's his favorite word.

The secretary called our building manager and asked, "Would you walk it over?" Turkey's new law firm is about a half mile from his old one. The building manager laughed and answered, "No. Either you can come pick it up today, or I will put it in the mail to you today." It was soon after that day that she announced her refusal to work for Turkey anymore.

Four months, four people. And yes, when I came back from that lunch I went straight into GC/Boss's office to tell him the news, and thanked him again for hiring me.
