It was even better than that! I predicted that the project would fail and
was promptly blackballed and removed from the project for my heresy. I left
the company about six months later. The project failed. That corporation,
a 30,000 employee multinational with a 90 year history, went bankrupt about
two years later. He who laughs last, laughs best.
