Former Boss Died and I dunno how I feel...

[herm]

several years after i moved on from being a ski bum in Colorado, i heard that my first supervisor on the mountain was killed when he fell into a crevasse in the Alps somewhere. kind of a bummer, but no real feelings one way or another.

I worked for a guy that could be a bigger a-hole than your old boss.  I'd love to kick him in the teeth, but I wouldn't wish death on him.

If I did hear of his death, I wouldn't be upset about it, as long as I didn't have anything to do with it.

As others have said, extreme indifference is perfectly appropriate sometimes.

yup...+1

and no matter what...taking a dump in someone's coffin on their dead corpse is nothing more than being just shitty.

You should feel like applying for his job-it's open now.

I used to work w, someone that if they drowned I wouldn't shed a tear.

I have worked with plenty of folks whom I was not fond of. I certainly would not wish death on any of them at any time. If I was in your position I would not waste time beating myself up over an unfortunate accident to a former boss that I was not fond of. I also would not waste my time or energy going to the funeral. This person was unpleasant to you ,why waste your good chee on him?
Just my 02.

Ya know, that was almost the first thing my sister said. Her question was whether or not I was going to apply there for a job again now that he is gone.

So he was driving / walking on the 13 and he somehow drowned?

He was diving with a friend and somehow they both got swept under a rock formation called Giggle Crack. The friend managed to get to the surface but my former boss did not. Yes, when I read that it was called Giggle Crack I laughed a little.

I made the same mistake while I was reading it too.

I was like "how in the make the beast with two backs does somebody get caught under a rock and drown in a driving accident?  He must've run off a bridge into a lake or something."

Then I re-read it to see if I missed something and caught my mistake.




And erkish, I wouldn't feel bad about the reaction to hearing of his demise.

I mean, it doesn't sound like you're happy that he died, you just aren't exactly filled with sorrow about it.  Perfectly normal if he was that much of a dick.

And while that really sucks for his children, and I'm sure it's painful for them to lose their father, there's a chance that they're better off in the long run not being raised by him if he was really that much of an asshole.

Who knows.   

[Stinky Wizzleteats]

I worked for someone years ago and found out recently that he had a thing for little boys.



Can't wait till he dies. Painfully.

Funerals aren't for the dead, they are for the living.  Go work the room!

At least I know I won't be lonely in hell...

[Doctor Woodrow]

. . . I just found out that he died from an old co-worker/ classmate's facebook status. He died on the 13 at age 41.  . .

Wait, so he died because of somebody's STATUS on FACEBOOK??? Wow, thats sad for a 41 year-old . . .

Lol, yeah I guess I worded that poorly.  I was cruising facebook and my old co-worker's status from the a few days ago said something about my boss dying.
