For how long has he stayed around? Or does he not report to anyone? Director sounds like an employee role too...
based on my unpublished anecdata
He has been there for around 10 years. The fact that he has stayed on for 10 years while mistrusting people who have worked for him for the same time doesn't make sense. But neither does it for managers who have nice offices to promote open office arrangements for their workers. Hypocrites are everywhere.
