on BrunHilda never admitting her errors

once the 1998 Back-to-School forecast error (hers) was made clear, the VP's gathered with my manager... they all knew they were wrong in their override... they all knew they called administration-wide alerts and firedrills that were absurd, claiming the business was falling apart... our group said everything was just fine, on track just fine... I laughed in BH's face once at a staff meeting, with a reply "nothing is wrong with the business; what is wrong is your senior management overrides of excellent forecasts"

when the dust cleared, BrunHilda the Quintessential Mother of All Bitches said to my manager something like:

"you are still responsible for the Back-to-School forecast errors, since you were confident that you were right and did not sufficiently influence and convince senior management in swaying opinion"

in response to my widely circulated harshly but professionally critical letter of resignation, BrunHilda said:

"you clearly have personal goals and desires that lead you to other career paths"

I wouldnt let BH have the privilege of kissing my fine ass

I am certain that you guys have many such similar stories ofr men and women assholes in high places

p.s. on total tanning solutions, I meant "obverse side" not "observe side" (geezloueez)
