Are you implying that he was doing anything wrong? Unless he was especially unproductive or ignorant at his job, then the schmoozing can be seen as a multiplier

At a certain level in a company, playing golf with the client is the job, as it closes the deal.
- noobermin 8y agoHe wasn't hired to play golf, he was hired to work.
- throwaway0625 8y agoI am implying that. In the time since this story I've had a lot of time to think about the ethics of this situation. Even if he was a sleazy liar, sleazy liars are people too, and someone getting fired is drastic. But to use your terms, a multiplier on a negative quantity is more deeply negative. He was doing his job duties none at all or poorly. Other people had to clean up after his messes and lies. I created a throwaway account to tell this story because he was the most sociopathic IC I've seen in the business, and my career is not brief, I am not normally phased or automatically put off by sociopaths.
