And the real president of Stanford just got fired for being a sham. Life imitates art.

I had a friend like him, he barely graduated engineering, failed all the recruitment drives our university had setup. Took a job in a small startup company because he could speak English and was confident, became a manger within few months, VP in few years and then the company got acquired by Honeywell and he made millions.

Bighead didn't know his severance changed when he got promoted to a higher level. The 3 year contract had a severance of 2 million, but his current promoted job as it's supposed to be more impactful, had an actual severance of 20 million (because they wouldn't generally fire these kind of people, they are those who quit on their own most of the time to move somewhere else or just to not lose face)

Doing nothing is such an important and hard job that he definitely needs an assistant.
