I came back from my workout and D2 is like, "get a load of this text from Owner/CEO. It says, 'What's [old softare company] number?'" We had no idea what type of number he's asking for. It would seem to be phone number, but he's never talked to them and really doesn't have any business calling them. Remember, D2 is the old software guru and would normally be the primary contact. D2 requested that he clarify.
We were the only two in the room. D2 got up, shut the door, and gave me a look like he was going to talk about some crap. He prefaced what he was going to say by mentioning something about being "a conspiracy theory guy." He was talking about how HRP is bypassing him to do stuff. Long story short, he thinks HRP wants to get rid of him and replace him with NG2. This had not occurred to me before. However, there may actually be something to it. Because it sure as hell seems that HRP was in fact part of a scheme to try to replace him once before with GG. Lol.
Now, NG2 is in here and he is getting her all fired up. He's talking about mistakes that HRP has made, causing our team to do more work. OMG! She's totally taking the bait! She's like, "this work is all I do these days!" They're raising their voices! "No one thought this through in advance!" etc.
Things calmed down again. But now we've heard back from Owner/CEO and he DOES want their phone number. So, this causes another D2 mini freak out. "WHY DOES HE WANT TO TALK TO THEM!?!? WHAT IS HE UP TO!?!?"
