As far as we can tell, Fathead doesn't give a fig what happens to the 
company. Being the "site manager" looks good on his CV, and he gets a 
big fat pay cheque. Beyond that... he doesn't give a damn.

I find it particularly inappropriate to be walking round the building 
whistling cheerfully while people are breaking down in tears because 
they just lost their income.

I know people like that.  Tends to be very corrosive indeed.

You and me alike.  It shows a lot about the guy's character, that's for
