Big Ben








hey everybody, Ben here. It’s been a week and I’m starting to really regret my decision. Sure, I had a great 7 days of hi fives and back slaps but now that things are quieting down I’m afraid and I’m realizing Old Ben really got himself in a pickle this time. So my plan is to return to work like nothing happened next week- Constanza style. Call it an April fools prank if you will gang.

Old Ben with the switcharoo
A friend at Ben's new company said he faked a disability to get the job. And now they are building him his own handicapped bathroom.
 









Don't work at Shire anymore but I was sent Ben's email by a friend. His reasons for leaving matches mine almost to a T. I miss so many people at Shire but I don't miss the way I was treated
 



Someone from my team that knows Ben said that he is having a call with Mark Russ today. What is there left to say??? I hope Ben doesn't puss out and apologize for telling the truth. He did nothing wrong.

Ben begged Mark for his job back and apologized for his comments. Mark told Ben he was not talented enough to carry the bag for Shire anymore.

No, no. Mark thanked Ben for his constructive feedback and left him with an open offer to return anytime. He then asked Ben if he’d be willing to provide him with a recommendation in the future. They are on good terms with each other. Both better men.
 






I actually spoke to Ben. He did not apologize and was not offered a job. Mark and Ben had a very good discussion in which they agreed on a lot and discussed other issues they don't see eye to eye on. It was a beneficial a productive talk. Ben left the conversation having a greater respect for Mark and the path he is taking Shire NBU on.
