I would think that there's nothing worse than a big CEO having a stroke, a guy who looks down on everybody else, not being able to communicate while wearing a Depends.
Maybe for him, but not for the people under him, if he was an asshole or bastard.
The man that ran a company that I worked for in the past was known for his being both.
After he retired, his health declined rapidly. In two years time he went from being a powerful big business man with multiple companies and interests in the area to being confined to a wheelchair in a nursing home drooling on himself.
I went to his funeral to pay my respects fully expecting to maybe even feeling some compassion and mourn the man, but as I saw him laying in the casket, it was confirmation the bastard was dead and it gave me closure after years of dealing with his harsh and cruel attitude.
Karma's a bitch.
