Oh wow. Someone actually fired him. Good riddance. Dude was way out of his depth and was the laughingstock of any employee group with a brain.

Met AW shortly after the BJ, as CEO, announcement. One of my questions was about the executive changes taking place. Amongst a few other very clear statements was this one.. “You’re gonna see accountability at the executive level that you haven’t seen before”. I’d say he’s a man of his word. Our short visit left me very impressed.
