It amazes me how jealous people can be of someones success. Face it, everyone who hates this guy is probably doing traffic somewhere and is angry because they never worked their butt off to get to a position such as Bob did. You just wanted everything handed to you and always said "Poor me, everyone is wrong and I am right why do I never get a promotion...etc..."
Face the facts, the guy is successful because he is smart, and works hard to get what he wants in the business. Also making sure he surrounds himself with a good team of people who really want it just as much as he did when he was in their position.
Grow up, get over yourselves, and don't you have to be doing a traffic report by now?
