In Reply To: In the short time I've been at this company (and I do mean a very short time) I've been absolutely appalled at the gross incompetence of leadership. Taking into consideration the outstanding number of strategic blunders our firm has embarked upon, and leadership's unwillingness to cut both theirs and the firm's losses, I wonder sometimes how we can even manage to show a profit. Example: whatever that crap e-business was that they tried to start a couple of years back just as the tech bubble was bursting. Anyone remember what that thing was called? ... way to go Bryan/Dale and friends. Jump onto the "next best thing" at least 5 years too late and let's see what happens. Out.
Message: I don't know why, but this message seems odd. Why not give an example of something new that you've seen first hand rather than go over old ground? The internet bubble burst way more than "a couple" of years ago! Who the hell cares about an unfortunate venture that failed years before they even joined?? Especially if they've only been there "a very short time". I think you've looked through historic posts and seen that there have been a lot of negative feelings and posting about such matters, and I think you are deliberately trying to stir all this crap up again. I reckon you're a troublemaker, quite possibly from a different company! Come on, have the balls to admit it.
