Munoz brought the monthly bonus back after Smisek got **** canned, he allegedly had a meeting with Bethune and the bonus was one of the outcomes. It's not a big deal to some but it's a whole days pay for the guys who work the ramp. If those guys aren't happy, you're running in quick sand.


Bethune was no saint and he certainly lined his (and his buddies) pockets but he DID make a point of purging all things Lorenzo- that was a big start. He certainly had a cost advantage but he was also smart enough to let the people in the trenches make their own decisions, something that scumbag Smisek completely eliminated in the name of a spreadsheet. Smisek was Bethune's boy so some of that is on him.


The operation continues to improve as the Smisek stink wears off, I think a lot of people underestimate just how badly he ****ed this place up in a relatively short amount of time. Talk to anyone who works in Willis Tower and they will tell you that it's a different company since Smisek left.
