| Eric,
I see no value in what Steve did. When you think about it, his major excitement came from spreading rancor. What's the purpose of calling those bosses other than to stir human grief? It's Chicken Little.
I actually agree about not liking the cigar or the girl. It just seems pointless to call their bosses and unload. If I am missing anything important, let me know, but returning evil for evil is not a solution.
I knew a record producer who acted badly toward people and eventually, someone shot his head off. Enough already!
