That shows your leadership abilities.  taking enjoyment from ending a person's job or career is a good sign you are a  sociopath.

The fact is, Jim Johnsen has made some decisions that even outside consultants said would cost more money such as switching to Gmail from Exchange, or moving Blackboard to the Fairbanks campus, those are just a few glaring reasons..
