Finance ran a coup and got the top three brass in IT let go. Then they put their idiot puppets in-place so IT would be under their thumb.

IT director was and is incompetent at IT. He was hired-on years ago as a project manager but was ultimately useless and lazy. Bounced around and failed upward a bit until this yes man and the immoral finance head were chums.

New chain of command were all like him. I was originally hired on with a loose and powerful mandate, but this chucklehead was micro-managing us to death. I told my immediate new boss "you have a year. I won't give notice."

It took 18 months. I dropped off the issued gear and the company cell, went home, took a few days off, started at this one.
