    What's the title? CRO or reservations?

    I was going to go to Qatar in April for a bit but already had holiday booked - how good an impersonation could you do?

    Idiot Son just came into my office and claims that he's paranoid, the government is tracking everyone and the bible told him so

    He also believes some people he met from South Africa jailbroke his phone to hack it, because his battery is low on it.

    Guy sounds like he needs professional help.

    Sounds like he needs a team.

    Alternatively, fashion him a hat made of tin foil.

    Out of curiosity, does your company handle anything sensitive? Or is it just a "a company which does stuff"? Like... Would someone be motivated to conspire against you?

    I say feed it. Tell him the battery drain is actually just a virus placed by the NSA, because when he plugs it into a charger they get access to his email and contacts.

    And that the Chinese are now using spy drones exactly the size, shape and appearance as houseflies.

    Dude what the fuck.
    I hope this new job comes through for you. This dude sounds like he is slipping down the crazy slope.

    We had one guy who came in to Barnes and Noble when I was working in the cafe and he would buy these guns and ammo magazines and survivalist mags and stuff. I'd do my 'hey you wanna buy a membership card?' spiel and he would get all smug and reply with 'so the government can track me? I think not, buddy.' He would then smirk as he pulled out his CREDIT CARD HE WAS PAYING WITH.

    I take it someone else from your company was in the interview as well? Or just the poor guy being interviewed?

    I don't even know how I would handle that, honestly.

    He legitimately believes he's been blessed by God with a capital G to be successful in life and a special blessing in the world of salesmanship


    He is a manchild that has been indulged and encouraged in his delusions at every turn by his own father

    Oh wow, OK. I am genuinely in awe that this guy keeps his job despite his father being so high up.

    On that point, is there any indication as to why Father allows Idiot Son to behave this way? Has he just sort of acknowledged the fact that he created his own monster or does he actually still approve of some of the shit that comes out of this guy's mouth?

    I'm just trying to understand the dynamic of this relationship.

    Father spent better part of son's youth building the business, neglecting him

    Son became a literal crack addict and nutjob, then becomes born again

    Father feels guilty, feels need to help his son for the rest of his life forever and ever amen

    Ah. One of those scenarios.

    Well, Father should be aware that after he dies/retires that this business is going to completely disappear. A best case scenario would be that he sells it to someone else and leaves Idiot Son with the money to then blow through.
