Abstract
Before the Shill bailed, he was obligated to hire a couple of people to take over his teams (or lack thereof). His personal loyalty to Lawson Software was dubious, but he was beholden to his patron saint. The Shill owed the Wax Artist for providing him with employment on several occasions in his career. Replacing himself was payment on a debt built up from many years of cronyism.
