It warms my heart when people in positions of leadership can't take criticism.
How about this? I'll thank you for your hard work on our behalf today. Seriously. Thank you. And then you'll get an "atta-boy" when you follow through on your promise to "get tough" on management. When is that going to be? Lots of talk these days. Still a constant slide in their favor without any response or proactive plan.
And if you manage to get an industry standard deal in the near future, all while playing possum, I'll admit I was wrong and I'll put a case of your favorite IPA at your Vfile. That way you won't have to drink it with me. But I suspect we are going to go for another year getting rolled, at the 11th hour you guys will celebrate a substandard offer and spend another month selling it to us. I really hope I'm wrong.
