KARMA, sometimes it’s instant and it’s gonna get you.
Three weeks ago, I was at an accounting seminar, and I bumped into the guy that laid me off last year. When I asked him to say hello to a few folks back at the office, he replied he had been "reorganized out".
I felt a bit of schadenfreude...maybe 3 seconds. I knew that this was his first time, and at the worst possible time for a senior accounting professional. It's not going to help him that he's a white male.
