Haven’t heard this name in a while. Is he still a billionaire? W&T is worth a fraction of what it was.
Used to see him when I was at Greenway Plaza a lot back in the day. He would always drive his Ferrari 458 to work every day.

We worked around the horse’s schedule redoing the stables. Turned a 4 month to a 8month project.

he’s firing a person a week for doing things like wearing white after Labor Day.
I didn’t realize he was gay.

Yes, he fired people when they weren’t in an elevator. One of the older shop guys told me a story of how he fired a shop worker one day .
I don’t remember exactly what it was for , pretty sure it was something that wasn’t a big deal and the shop boss told the guy to comeback the next day don’t worry about him. A few weeks later Jim came in, and he saw the guy and said didn’t I fire you?
I think it was a day it was raining and Jim walked up to a worker when they were at the time clock about to punch out for the day and Jim took his umbrella out of his hand and walked to his car so he didn’t get wet.
I wish I could remember the stories verbatim but I’m not good at remembering all the details.
Back in the 80’s and 90’s you sometimes had to take more shite than you do nowadays. Work wasn’t as easy to get in some fields.

Fired me in the bathroom at the Loves truck stop in Port Allen. Funny thing was the elevator music being piped in over the speakers.

Don't know about y'all, but I have totally enjoyed hearing about what a dick he was.
Thanks for the entertainment.

Mad cow disease in humans is called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). It is caused by eating beef products contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-infected nervous system tissue (primarily brain, spinal cord, and retina) from cattle.
How Humans Contract vCJD (Key Points)
1. Consumption of Contaminated Beef?The primary (and essentially only proven) route is eating meat from cattle with BSE, especially products that contained high-risk materials:
• Brain (e.g., in some traditional dishes or improperly processed foods)
Spinal cord
• Mechanically recovered meat (MRM) – a paste scraped from bones under high pressure that was sometimes contaminated with central nervous system tissue
• Certain sausages, burgers, or pies made with contaminated ingredients?The infectious agent is an abnormal prion protein (PrP^Sc) that is extremely resistant to heat, cooking, and standard sterilization.

Bernhard had a rule that he wanted employees to use the stairs unless they were going 4 or more floors. My guy in IT was at lunch, on the way back he got a call to get to this office on the 2nd floor ASAP. He speed walks into the lobby, sees the elevator open, jumps in and presses the 2nd floor button. A few seconds later Bernhard walks in the elevator and sees my boy by himself with the 2 button lit up. Bernhard gives him a scowl, looks at his name tag, later that afternoon he got a call from HR.

That doesn’t count. He wasn’t fired in the elevator, he was just fired for being in one.
