A family member (we’ll call him Bob) recently told me of his experience in the upper echelons of the corporate world. Bob had just retired from his company and felt free to divulge the secrets of what really goes on inside the corporate boardroom.

What I didn’t know was that Bob had been fired not once but twice from the same company. It was the same job, same responsibilities but they fired him twice! They even brought him back a third time, but only to consult. How could this be you ask?
Knowing Bob well enough and having been around the corporate block a few times, I realized that Bob likes to deal with reality while too many corporations like Enron, Arthur Anderson and the like, love to traffic in baloney.

If Bob thought something was amiss or off he would tell those in charge what he thought. Too many people can’t handle the truth. They’d rather bury their heads in the sand and hope the danger of their decisions pass. Bob was never one to let a bad idea fester and cause problems later on. When he would tell his boss or the owners of problems (often caused by them), they would feel threatened and want to blame him. It was easier to get rid of him than the problem.

I believe that some men run their relationships this way. If they fail to connect with a woman or feel awkward talking to her after being intimate with her they leave and never come back. Better to get rid of the person than the problem which would be their inability to emotionally connect even after great conversation or great sex.
