And, someone had to be at the helm while employee benefits were looted to
pay the bloated high-cost administrators that have come to typify UI.

I like to think chimpanzees would have been too smart for that . . .

I'm relatively certain that if you opened the job up to anyone with a
GED who had successfully chaired a few PTA meetings or equivalent that
we could find a suitable replacement for about $80,000 a year.  White
is vacating one of those overpaid non-jobs that Chimpanzees could be
trained to do if we could convince them to wear suits and improve
their vocabulary, but we insist on hiring overqualified people for
because we don't want the hoi poi to know how little it actually
entails.

Yes, I'm being ornery. I'm sure White was worth every penny.  Someone
had to approve that spiffy new logo, after all.  And smiling a lot and
shaking hands and attending lots of dinners is hard work.  I mean,
look how much the Queen of England makes for doing essentially the
same thing.
