Kefka's Job Description

One of the more annoying aspects of business school is its tendency to bleed into things that are enjoyable. It’s like gravity – its sucking is so hard, like the sun it tends to pull things into its orbit.

I read in a book that the sun is constantly sucking at the earth, that’s why we have clouds and acceptable citrus in the southeast United States. And that’s where hobos come from.

That being said, how the hell did an organization like “The Empire” get to its lofty state with a Vice President of crazy costumes and laughing? Not only did they HAVE a Vice President of crazy costumes and laughing (a VPCCL), but theirs was homicidal. What kind of CEO promotes this:


from middle management into an executive position? How does this guy not have a mark on his record from HR? He looks like he would sexually harass everyone. I think his picture is sexually harassing me right now!

Even if the market is booming for crazy costumes and laughing (say, you work at The Blue Collar Comedy Tour or something), you don’t hire the guy who WEARS the costumes. You want someone who takes his costumes and laughing seriously and has a background in costumes and laughing.

What the hell is Kefka in charge of anyhow? Running a successful empire takes a great deal of management skill, and all Kefka knows is murdering children (and later, even their parents so that the children starve alone without them – innovation!) and dressing like the bastard child of Michael Jackson and an Emo kid.

Point being – you don’t want this man running your finance department – it’s not a good idea.

From experience – your marketing department, maybe.
