And life is too short to work for assholes like that.

(146,325 posts)We shall see. But, I expect him to resign. He doesn't need this.

(12,164 posts)On second thought, this probably means a) relations with Putin have soured and the Exxon windfall isn't happening after all, or b) the Exxon-Putin partnership is secure, so Tillerson has achieved what he set out to do.
Public service certainly isn't part of his portfolio.

I agree with Mineral Man that he doesn't need this.

He worked his way up from production engineer to head of a Fortune 10 or maybe even Fortune 5 company. Wasn't Exxon the biggest company in the US at one time? I doubt that you can pull strings or use family connections to do that. He doesn't need this abuse. He can walk away and go somewhere else - anywhere - where he won't have to put up with the belittlement.
That say, I hope he says "yes, I said ***** was a moron. Furthermore, I meant it. **** you, *****."
It's about time someone told the truth in that sorry excuse of an administration. I'd respect him if he does.
