“I’m an employment and contract attorney. In my younger days, I was corporate counsel for a large hospital. We were in the midst of a fundraising campaign and were a few million dollars from our goal. We got a call from a wealthy, youngish guy who offered to cover the remainder, plus 10%, with two stipulations. He used to work at the hospital when he was younger and made it rich with a medical device company he started. He wanted a voting-member board seat and wanted to fire this vice president, who was his supervisor when he worked there and had made his life miserable. The vice president was the reason he’d quit and eventually created his own business.”
“The younger guy took his request to the Board and CEO, and they agreed to give him a seat. However, the CEO decided to reorganize certain departments, and coincidentally, this VP’s position was eliminated. The new board member chaired the committee that made the call on the reorganization and informed the VP of the changes. That was the biggest ‘fuck you,’ long-term grudge I ever saw.”
