Carl Clicker was a training manager at Enron.
He remembers pulling up on his first day of work to the Enron Tower.
It was like he was working in Hollywood, not energy.
There were like 25 Ferraris and Maseratis and Bentleys lined up on Bonus Baby Row.
Enron was about big bucks and big attitude, right down to their hold music.
Yep, that's Tina Turner.
Simply the best.
I mean, who does that?
Enron's bravado never seemed to miss a beat.
Then something happened.
The first real crack in the Enron facade.
And it was a big one.
It was August 2001.
Enron's CEO Jeff Skilling resigned completely out of the blue.
Skilling had only been CEO for six months, but he'd been with Enron for more than a decade.
He'd helped transform the once sleepy gas pipeline company into a global enterprise.
He'd become a corporate celebrity in the process.
You might compare him to Apple's Tim Cook or Tesla's Elon Musk.
So when he resigned, it sent shockwaves through the industry.
Skilling said it was for personal reasons.
