So the daughter of my company’s chairman started working for me today. She came
in with a security team who guard her 24/7, as she is very wealthy (I work for a large multinational, and her family owns a controlling interest). She is supposedly close with her father, and they speak on the phone almost daily. I run a corporate finance department, but she comes in with no Finance background or experience — her degree is in art, and her previous experience with the company has been in other areas. They’re clearly grooming her for a senior leadership position, and want her to learn about finance. She will be my direct report.

It’s weird having a direct report who knows nothing about our function and can have me fired with one phone call. It should be interesting.
