In other words he was correct but imposed his own standard on employees.

I said I'd scrub it off myself if it was offensive, and give the hundred to charity. Barf, barf, what a load of nonsense. I got the job, but was offered a better one the following week so never did have the joy of working with them. I can just imagine their daily psychobabble :blink:
