I guess you dont know dbm the way I do. He is quite a bit different as a city mgr than area manager. He is on a Taffneresque tear of ruining good peoples careers. One person was told to bounce from 31-48 after working his ass off and not putting up awful numbers at a tough as nails branch. The manager before him had the privilage of being labled "golden". They flushed that place down the toilet driving Northtown to Hertzs doorstep. Since they were "the next big thing" in the eyes of some they got a temporary demotion and are now running one of the biggest branches in the city. One got a 2nd chance while the other was not fit to be a car prep? Horseshit!
The good news is that rat is just as replaceable as everybody else. Hell get his.
