In that position you have to be prepared to be fired or you lose all credibility as a real manager.

This is noted by many investors that we are unwilling to become real managers and take decisions that are right even if it puts our jobs at risk.

A person who stands their ground will always be able to find work. It may not pay as well, but at least you know, and many others, that you are person who deserves respect.

She was the General Manager, a journalist. As a General Manager you have a responsibility to do what is correct. If the Directors don't like it then they can give you proper severance, end of story.

That is what a real Managing Director would do.

Political lackeys who play the political game should expect to lose their job as they are not real Managing Director material to begin with.

True to form, because we weren't yet feeling the pain we went blindly on.

I agree with The Oracle, this has been a long time coming.

When I was young we bought cutlery made in Sheffield, England. Today you buy cutlery from China. The steel industry is now very small in the UK.

Most of our electrical appliances and tools would come from the US. Today they come from South Korea, China and Taiwan.

There are going to be certain industries that we can no longer do. Sodas and the like are one of them.

Please give us the name of the previous tenant. This might be most interesting. Was there any relationship with the previous tenant and Pat Mortimer?

So what did he do for all this money. Can someone point to 5 or 10 million dollars of income as a result of us hiring him?
