I haven't read any books on him, is that what he does "Shake the stick" at management and spook them into profitability. He is labeled an "activist investor" whatever the hell that means. To me he seems like he will use the brand to make himself rich only to destroy the brand in the process, walk away and leave the ashes for the seniority based workgroups to clean up.
Why you are in the hot seat is: the opportunity to walk into a good opportunity at a legacy is open now but the shot clock is running and the digits are now pulsating. When it goes out it's OUT and now your career is in the hands of Geraghty and Icahn. Not a position I would want to be in.
