Today while in line at a business conference to speak with a reporter, I was privy to the tribulations of the two young men behind me in their dealings with their employee Stu. Here’s what I learned:

• Stu has lost his enthusiasm and answers their questions in a dull monotone
• Stu is due in at 8, but sometimes shows up at 11
• Stu is starting his own startup and has been caught working on it at work

When they realized I’d overheard all this, they asked what I’d do. I told them: “After firing Stu? Celebrate.”
