Dude looks like he wets the bed. Just my opinion.
For those who hit a paywall, here's the jist of it:
"Hackett oversaw a major reorganization at Steelcase that involved cutting the company's workforce dramatically and eliminating more than half of its facilities. Among those he had to personally pink slip was the best man at his wedding.
He met with many of the laid-off salaried workers personally, eating breakfast with them and offering them assistance with networking or benefit issues."
