This isn't really all that different from "New Manager Syndrome". we're going to trim the fat, shake things up around here . Idiot comes in and changes everything, fires some people, destroys morale, then you hire an independent to fix the mess.
I made a good living from this shit, and got a lot of very qualified people good jobs at sane companies. oh, you shitcanned Jane? Hello Jane? I'm going to have Bob call you in a few minutes if you are looking for work
