So basically he has a fancy job title, large salary, and doesn't do jack shit? Where can I sign up?
Obviously he makes a ton of money cuz he mentioned walking to work. And last I checked, Sirius is located in quite a pricey area of manhattan. And we know Tim ain't walking from one o the other Burroughs.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tim "fell" into his job, even before Howard. He reminds of people I have worked for/with, usually executives, who, upon having a conversation with them, you're astounded they are running ANYTHING. And then you find out they don't even have the credentials/experience for their position, they were more or less "appointed" by some other person in power. Don't get me wrong, there is a place for "yes men/women" but they're still infuriating.
On another level, we have interns, many of whom work really hard for no money, long hours, verbal abuse, etc. And then there are interns who are always seen having drinks at nearby bars with higher-ups, rumors of BJs, etc. The latter interns always seem to get the nod & praise, eventual promotions, etc. Kinda unfortunate.
