Dave, don't let the door slam you on your way out ...

I liked working at AOL but the thing I hated the most about the company is the arrogance on the part of those in upper management. Employees go to all hands meetings, where executive honchos get up and deliver a giant "pat on the back" speech, enriching all of us with minute details of their personal lives.

David Gang is the most typical example of this type of executives. I still remember the day back in May when he announced his departure from the company. Employee were treated to a seven-paragraph email from him listing all his accomplishments over the past ten years. Today's his last day at the company. It will be interesting to see how long he lasts over at WebMD, I'd be sure to avoid the stock like the plague.
