The corporate equivalent of "Who the f** is that guy?"

I was interpreting it more along the lines of 'we have absolutely no common ground, shared values or pre-existing relationships with that guy' myself...

Indeed, but corporate speak is a lote more warmer usually. They at least know his resume, have talked a bit, and then they sugar coat everything.

I don't think he meant anything as mean-spirited as that. I think it's more of just "I don't know this guy at all", or more succinctly "who the f is this guy" as the GP comment put it haha.

[Edit: oops, I dumb. Codethief correctly pointed out that I made a mistake - I probably would have failed any class about intro to set theory.. Derp.]

Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't see how one thing follows from the other. They could have a mutual connection that you're not connected to, couldn't they?

That is not a sound deduction.

Sounds like a cold greeting in contrast to the announcement of Sam & co joining.

He will be Sheared very soon.
