If things played out like they claim, GU would be screaming and stomping to be released.
Yeah I'm not completely dismissing the e-mail update. But I will point to something... Remember the e-mail at the end of October? That basically stated everything that the company was "outrageously doing", and the section 1 and 3 debacle? I asked back then, if it's really as bad as I'm reading it, where is the mediator in all of this? Bc if it's as bad as it sounds, then the mediator should be all over the company's throat; I never got an answer.
What actually happend? We changed mediators. Mmmmkay... Now we have this new one and both sides claim to be happy with the change. We see great progress, and then BOOM! One step back. Ok so I'll ask again, IF it's as bad as the e-mail appears it to be, then is this mediator scolding the company? If so, then it should be easy for our side to state their case for self help.
But when I see things such as the company showing up "unprepared", I have to ask, REALLY? They got "world class" J. Glass in there. You really think they're showing up unprepared or stepping over their own d***ks in a manner that the mediator would allow? For example, when discussing stacking/unstacking, the company has said 70% and they won't budge bc of XYZ. Then we read, they're not willing or ready to negotiate... Well, in my view that's a half truth, bc if the business really believes that anything less than that will damage the model? Then why would we (if we are at all) continue to try and get less than 70%?
So I imagine other things are the same. I get it, there's a lot happening behind the scenes. But something just isn't adding up. I mean a few months ago we were hearing that we were going to be released soon. Here comes March and it appears to be more of the same. I dunno, this is frustrating is all.
