Sounds to me like the guy has just started a new career in cable t.v. installation after spending time in either: a) local cable accounting department/ad sales division or b) local cable traffic/continuity department.
At least after being a jerk, he managed to finally do something right. With that sort of ability, he'd have been waaaaaay overqualified for those departments. They probably forced him to make a lateral move into another department.
As you can probably tell, this is one of my biggest rants about my line of work. I've come to the conclusion that the sequence is something like this:
Y'know those people who are ultimately deemed to be either a) too rude, b) too stupid, or c) both to work as gate agents for cut-rate airlines? When they're eventually fired, they go to work for Hardee's (usually on the breakfast shift).
Y'know those people who are ultimately deemed to be either a) too rude, b) too stupid, or c) both to work behind the counter at Hardee's? When they're eventually fired, their next job is in the accounting or traffic department for a local cable system. They usually stay there for quite a while, it doesn't seem you can be stupid enough to get yourself fired from those jobs.
