It was a short work week for most, but there was no shortage of bad behavior among really bad bosses:
- Can you hear me now?- Paul Liska was fired from his CFO position with Motorola back in February and is now suing them for wrongful termination. He says the firing was retaliation for being honest with Motorola’s board about the dire straits of its cell phone division. Motorola says that Liska had been on his way out for a while. The truth probably lies somewhere in between, but experience has taught us that really bad bosses have a tendency to fire people who tell them the truth.
- Liar liar pants on fire - Pinky and the Brain, aka Rod Blagojevich and Roland Burris, are still denying any wrongdoing. And while Blago continues to ride the publicity train, this week transcripts were released that show Roland Burris doing exactly what he’s denied doing for months – talking to Rob Blagojevich (Pinky’s brother) about the senate seat he so coveted. Is anyone else tired of politicians treating lying as though it’s some kind of art form? We know we are.
- You might be a Really Bad Boss if… you bash your housekeeper over the head with an ashtray. The ashtray basher in question is George Bardwil, CEO of Bardwil Home Linens. He said he thought she was stealing. Now she won’t have to steal because once her fractured skull heals, she’s going to sue him for every penny he has.
