He puts me in mind of a car ad some years ago - Audi I think - where a bloke like Ben is test driving the car and going on about his "image" etc. A minute of this and you are thinking "what a total knob" - then he gets back to he garage and the salesman asks him if he is interested. He replies "No, mate, not my sort of car".
Seems his current employers/colleagues didn't want him either.
If I were his manager, I would take him outside and tell him a few facts of life - mostly about keeping his mouth shut.”
I'd be concerned about his loyalty to be honest; there was an element of trying to shift the blame this week. He's got a bit too much to say for himself at times!
