In a daring move to get finally rid of Gino, I gave him the practically impossible task of improving my own made Java multi platform installer. For months and months, he pretended to be working on the stuff, while actually as usual spending his days in the toilets and the chatting with Olive Oyl, one of our new lady “workers”, who is so desperate for distraction that will talk even to Gino.
All the managers of the company were complaining about this total waste of company’s money, and I was confirming all the time what a disaster Gino is; all this took us long breaks over cappuccinos and homemade pastries.
So when we finally released the new installer in hundreds of downloads, I started collecting statistics of the successful installations (as our software unshamingly calls home like all commercial software does), in order to show the disaster and get Gino immediately fired. But for still obscure circumstances, actually the share of successful installations has improved dramatically. So I had to hide and alter data, and keep a quiet, low profile about Gino and all that “time wasted” talk.
Will need another reason… .
