It takes a certain amount of time one to develop resistance to strong kool-aid. Hasmid appeared to be a self assured, confident, containing a high degree of alacrity. Seemly great attributes to most organizations. What Hasmid failed to realize was that he was not dealing with a meritocracy but instead a democratic form of cronyism. Hasmid was not given enough time to develop much needed mithridatism. I remember commenting to someone that if allowed an opportunity, Hasmid would become a great asset to the organization. I was answered in a rather splenetic manner, "He's an idiot!". The actual numbers warranted me being far from rodomontade but, who cares about facts? Who cares about profit?
As for me, I'm still drinking quite a bit of kool-aid on a regular basis. I'm starting to resist stronger doses of it's lethal poison. I'm also starting to dream and think big again and I wonder how long this organization will be able to afford me. I'm sure Hasmid found himself asking the same questions for he's no longer employed here. Just another case of Spiflication.
