    (internally) “I’m going to create a Death Star. Then I’m going to put all of HR on it. Then I’m going to accidentally-on-purpose let the plans slip out of my grasp to the Rebellion. Then we’ll see who is problematic.”

    Great to see you, Kyle!Report

    Sure Vader is a pain for HR but his yearly self eval is blessedly free of false humility and bs goals for next year.Report

      I’m actually told the Big Boss gave Vader the green light to try and recruit him. Fortunately the young man declined, which is good because the last thing we want is to get involved in trade secrets litigation with the Jedi.Report

        The hot gossip is his kid was offered Vader’s job, but both Vader and the Big Boss assumed the other would be retiring to make room. Vader said it wasn’t nepotism and his kid had the highest test scores in his generation but that got awfully hollow when he offered the job to his daughter right after his son turned him down.Report
