I saw the leather chair in his office and instantly took against him. Why? Because of everything it represented and said about management.
They showed me the honeycomb of cubicles down below and I heard the great cacophony of sound yet up there it was silent. Where the workers had been cramped, this man had the time, space, quiet and comfort to think while everyone else drowned in their own sweat to pay for it. Just the fact that he could sink comfortably while they struggled to keep still on cheap swivel chairs appalled me.
That was my only day.
