- dgacmu 10y ago+1 to this. I only met him once, but even in that he greatly impressed me with his humanity and humility. I can completely imagine Bill holding people to high expectations, but in a generous and affirmative way.
- hawkice 10y agoAbusive? Maybe, sending fired up execs home. Or an exec who had stepped over the line. But abusive, as in, a continuous process currently in motion? Sending them home and letting them come back the next day is not great, and sometimes a terrible business decision on par with letting aggressive sexual harassers come back the next day.

- askafriend 10y agoIf someone throws a chair at me, I will fuck them up. I don't care what their paygrade is or what authority they think they have. Signed, someone who is normally calm, reserved and respectful.
