Technical Architecture was his middle name. Reggie was not your typical enterprise software solutions director. He was polarizing, dynamic, loved and hated. He was not a suit…more of a jeans and ironic black t-shirt kind of guy. He publicly praised his team members who deserved it, never took credit for anyone’s work and pushed his whole team to constantly improve. However, the change-adverse players in his group had a really tough time with Reggie. He never passed up the opportunity to publicly humiliate the folks that were just along for the ride and unwilling to strive or improve. Reggie’s top talent ate this up and loved a good show. So for Boss’ Day, October 16th, Reggie’s best employees were searching for the perfect gift for their beloved boss.
“It needs to be funny.”
“Yeah, and ironic.”
“And anti-corporate.”
“Totally. And let’s make sure it’s cheap.”
“Guys, check out this 8-Bit Clip-On Tie at ThinkGeek.com in their Clearance section. It’s just 15 bucks.”
“Ha! Awesome. Would Reggie look better with “Power Red” or “Classic Blue”?
“Well, blue would match his eyes.”
“Sheila, you’re so obvious. He’s married.”
“I think we should go with red, you know, to match his SuperSoaker.”
“SOLD!”
“SWEET!”
“Charge it to Reggie’s corporate card. He’d want it that way.”
“Totally.”
