    My favorite method was to side track him every time I saw him, we’d start a conversation and I’d segway it into old phone tech. Guy was squirrel brained as hell but also the CIO.

    Another trick I had was to keep an old piece of tech on my desk (only good once) he’d see it and now that was what we would talk about for an hour.

    Eventually he was fired… he lead the initiative on a SaaS product that ended up costing us 120x our in house solution. CIO’s can’t help but push shit to SaaS and cloud so his replacement will probably have a similar departure after “moving everything to the cloud”.
