I play a nice person on twitter.
Regardless, for what I have to do, I'm interacting with someone different every other year because they "leave" or get fired. Simple fact. However, George was from beginning to end, far above everyone else (sorry guys) just amazing to work with. And on the occasions I had to chat with him post Tesla, he's still awesome.
Constant change is the only thing you can rely on with any company. Two years with any one person is probably above average. Shoot, my intro to a new boss/CEO was having to tell him I was dealing with a stalker that was also threatening the company. All of a sudden, I really missed the old CEO (Awesome start, let me tell you! But we got past it.) And he lasted about a year or so, new CEO twice since then. Just the way of it. It IS difficult to deal with changing contacts, but I don't know anyone who can say that isn't the norm.
Absolutely agree George was/continues to be amazing. He's one of a kind.
