Back in the days when I worked I was in our new president's office and he mentioned he had received an invitation to a Christmas luncheon with a good customer of ours. (NYC - Gallagher's Steak House) I was a close personal friend of the customer company president and always got an invitation as well, had been attending for years and it was always just the customer salesperson and their company officers and key sales personnel. (About 60 in attendance, mostly guys) My president says, "How do you think George would feel if I brought my GF?" I say, no, it's just key personnel, not guests. I tried to make it very clear. Douche bag president RSVP's that he will attend and so I figure all is OK. I'm early at the luncheon cocktail hour and low and behold, in comes my president with the girlfriend. I'm actually talking with George, the host company president he he gives me a funny look and says, what's the story. I told him I said it was not appropriate and George, being the great host that he is just laughs it off and makes room for the bimbo who by the way is dressed in a white pant suit in NYC in early December.

I couldn't freaking believe this ********* president just disregards what I told him. Needless to say he was fired within two years. He was a real idiot to work for and I worked for SEVEN presidents in 30 years while at that company. Probably says a little about how bad the company really was.

I also took a trip to Germany with the president, that was just a comedy club routine. Everyday was a string of new embarrassments. Funny now but it wasn't back when I had to drag this idiot around Europe with the GF.
