    Isn't that a satisfying story? :p

    Reminds me of another whizz-kid boss we had when I worked for British Rail, who was brought in to make sweeping changes. We had a youthful-looking clerk working for us, and he was offered an attractive redundancy package, which he accepted straight-faced.
    You would too, if you were 64 years and 8 months old.
    We couldn't have been happier for him.
