In many high profile departures from large companies the reporters of the story try to apparently reach out to the protagonist of the moment - the departee - to seek a comment. I have never actually seen one. Comment that is.
I mean think about it. If this person has been dumped for cause and he or she knows it what sort of comment are they going to make. Moreover do you think they have the following thoughts as soon as they actually leave - let me call all the reporters back that have left these nice voice mail messages asking me to call them back.
Thusly the comment about - he or she could not be reached for comment - seems inherently moronic. If the dude had anything to say he has already said it and that too to the ones that would matter. Journalists do not.
Besides if that dude actually really did want to comment - would there be an audience for it? Who wants to listen to this - e.g. dumped dude that was found having sexual intercourse in his office with a young staffer? Perhaps a porno channel. But that would make the reporters no less worthy than those working for the porn industry, which is taboo.
Or the one that embezzled millions or the one that lied about who he really was - what would his comments look like - ah - eh - I am really sorry? I should have used better judgement - but that one just slipped away? C'mon give me a chance?
Repeated calls to his office went unanswered is another variant of repeated inept behavior. I mean if you are really a pain then your repeated calling is not going to turn the tide is it now? Do they type that in the report to earn their paycheck? Or reader adulation - wow - this journo surely tried. Some journo that.
Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
