It could happen to anyone when you get hired by a different president. There’s a difference in philosophies. It happens. It’s a change in CEOs. They have their own people, their own philosophies, and it’s different than what Bob stands for.

Meaning of the quote

When a new president or CEO takes over a company, they often want to bring in their own team and ideas. This means the way the company works can change, even if the previous leader had different plans or beliefs. The new person in charge may have their own unique philosophies and ways of doing things, which can be very different from what the previous leader wanted. This is just a normal part of how businesses and organizations change over time when there is new leadership.
