AT LEAST HE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING
November 28, 2007
Former IRS Commissioner Mark Everson became president of the American Red Cross on May 29 this year. Apparently he got right to work. Unfortunately, it looks like his efforts were misdirected. He was fired yesterday by the Red Cross board, who explained:
The Board acted quickly after learning that Mr. Everson engaged in a personal relationship with a subordinate employee. It concluded that the situation reflected poor judgment on Mr. Everson's part and diminished his ability to lead the organization in the future.
Sure, you can't tolerate that sort of thing around the office. Still, you can see why he might have thought that was part of the job. As IRS Commissioner, his job required him to have "engaged in a personal relationship" with all of us.
The TaxProf has the authoritative roundup. Tax Grrrl and Don't Mess With Taxes are also on the case.
