I worked for him before he left to found Rite-Solutions. Undoubtedly the best boss I ever had. He was always interested in what the people under him thought about what was going on in the company, and he sheiled employees from a lot of the crap from higher-ups once the company was acquired. It has been my opinion that that was primarily the reason he was 'asked' to leave; he stood in the way of alot of the changes that corporate wanted to make, because he didn't feel that they were good for the employees. I left the company not too long after he left; once Jim was out of the picture, corporate slowly but inexorably implemented all the changes that they had promised they wouldn't make back when they first acquired us. I had a list of 3, and once they hit all 3 I was out the door.
Not to mention that he threw the best company parties I've seen, before or since.
One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't take the opportunity he offered to me a few years ago to come and work for him. Unfortunately, I was just starting a family and had to follow the money. Several times a year I consider contacting RS to see if the offer's still good, but I'm currently riding out a project that would probably fail if I jumped ship, and I actually feel bad about that:(

If you got the joke, it was close enough.
