Sorry for your situation, it just plain sucks.

Oddly enough karma likely caught up with him too, and he's on real estate boards telling them how he moved on. It's good for some to move on, indeed.

Show just how little you know about me. I made the decision to retire early based upon my needs, not the company.
And as I remember Mr. Bob you were one of those telling pilots from another carrier to suck it up on the furloughs.

Here's a threadlocker request. If you are retired (BS) then what the h'e'l'l are you serving by clogging a thread with dung? What's the german word for taking pleasure in other's suffering? Got nuthin' better going on, I get it. Karma has brought you back as a nit.

That would be Schadenfreude. Plenty of that being served up these days with a thick rich sauce of Hubris. Enjoy
"The Buddhist concept of mudita, "sympathetic joy" or "happiness in another's good fortune", is cited as an example of the opposite of schadenfreude. Alternatively, envy, which is unhappiness in another's good fortune, could be considered the counterpart of schadenfreude. Completing the quartet is "unhappiness at another's misfortune", which may be termed empathy, pity or compassion."
