Enough moves like this and nobody is going to want to work for this company. Enough moves like this and the CEO (Jason), a huge pre-madonna and drama queen, is going to have a tough time getting money from investors for his next "venture". Kudos for him for trying, but he certainly strikes me as a CEO I wouldn't want to work for.


Just a quick note -- and don't feel bad, this is a common mistake -- the phrase is actually "prima donna", not "pre-madonna".


Dude good job this is the best way I have seen correcting a persons grammar with out derailing the argument.


gentlest grammar correction i have ever seen on the internet. bravo!


Perhaps he really was comparing Mr Goldberg to a young Mary of Nazareth? I confess that the point of such an analogy eludes me. Something to do with carpentry?


Not sure if you're just being snarky, but I would assume people who write "pre-Madonna" are under the impression it's a reference to the pop star (which sort of makes sense).


It's an excellent eggcorn, at any rate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn

or perhaps primo uomo, if this cat's male.


That's a bit extreme. If they offered me 500k in cash to work for them, I would take any shit management throws as me. :)
