Onion-skinned boss has something to hide

He is known for his feisty behavior, never mind if his projects aren’t consistently good. Indeed, some of those “products” are great, while others leave prognosticators underwhelmed by their unevenness. But don’t be deceived by Moody Mentor’s (MM) cool-and-collected countenance—he’s far from it, Industry Insider (II) swears.

In fact, MM resents negative feedback and constructive criticism for his projects. Sometimes, he can even be spiteful. But it’s his go-getting behavior that has helped catapult him to the top of one of his recent endeavors.

Unfortunately, when asked for required “official” credentials, he tried to keep putting them off—until the movers and shakers behind the venture realized that, well, MM didn’t really have them.

Yup, MM wasn’t qualified for the job, so he had to give up the gig and look elsewhere for other opportunities.
