The phrase "it couldn't have happened to a nicer couple" is supposed to be a compliment. But... with our fondness for being clever and the desire never to be hateful face-to-face, we've twisted that saying to mean, "They got what they deserved." And we don't mean it nicely.
Such is the reaction I have gotten over and over following the resignation of two powerful people this week. People who ruined lives and made other lives much harder than they needed to be. People who ran rough-shod over dreams, shot down creativity, degraded and belittled without thought. People who did it all in the name of profit and .... the revenues kept falling.
Well, I wish them well in their retirement.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people.
