Ok...I'm going to go to bat for MS. I used to know him well and we were friends. He was my direct boss and he was great. He was smart; was not a micro-manager; Cared about people personally; supportive, etc. He was all of the things that make a great leader. Then came BC. Once BC came, MS changed...literally overnight. He seemed to only care about MS's career and became almost a mindless, thoughtless, follower of every whim of BC. He briefly tried to straddle being my friend and being who BC required him to be. Then, he fully all out abandoned any ethical, moral, caring, giving characteristics that he used to embody. I really did respect this guy! He has it in him to be this guy again. I hope that he takes the oppty now that BC is gone, to go back to his real self...if that is even possible at this point. I hope he sees this and takes it to heart. I know he will know who I am. Maybe give him a brief chance to redeem himself and see what happens. If it doesn't change, then I was wrong....Again.
