        I have no idea why they were fired or who fired them - I just know that they were fired.

        Bombast had a lot of helplessly incompetent (and sometimes clinically insane) executives running things, but they never lasted that long. There seemed to be some sort of Avenging Angel of Death wandering the Bombast Center and culling the more useless examples of management. My bowtie-wearing boss was one of these and certainly deserved the axe, but I don’t know if this was true of the other members of the bowtie brigade.

          I was going to say that sounds like something out of 30 Rock, but then I realized it should be because Comcast is Kabletown

          It sounds like the Steven Seagull movie, Marked For Death, over there at Bombast. People who manage telecoms firms are a special kind of psycho. None of their pricing makes any sense. It’s money for old rope and there are massive variations in service and value that depend on the customers having no choice in the matter because there is so little competition in the market.
