We buried one of our middle managers this week. Age 59, Heavy smoker from age 9. One of the few "Good Guys" who stood up for those of us at the bottom of the food chain at the city .
5 weeks ago , he went to the doctor with breathing problems, spent 3 days in the hospital , came into the office to clear his calendar. Told us the bad news. One week ago, into the hospital with renal failure.
26 years service, was staying to get the next promotion and 30 years. He could have retired several years ago.
The worst part , the jackels wanting to promote didn't wait for the body to cool down .
Another bitter reminder to look at the big picture and forget about getting the last coins on the table.
