I’m the original poster. Thank you for the kind words but you’ve given me credit that is not due. My intentions were not altruistic but based on spite. If there’s any chance of solace perhaps this debacle will prevent a similar situation from happening again. But not necessarily for the reasons you might assume.
For all you shareholders, I’m truly sorry that you lost money. As employees, we lost not only money but also our dignity. As I stated in my original post, it wasn’t the money that forced me into action, it was the hiring of Rosen.
I’m not the type who whines, complains or who has ever posted on any type of message board. But knowingly hiring someone with such a toxic, employee-abusive reputation was a slap in the face that could not be overlooked. It may have been a selfish act but I could easily justify it because of the devastating toll it took on my friends and coworkers.
So here’s my advice to all you CEOs out there. If you ever do consider hiring Rosen or a similar scorch-the-earth type, let it be known for what it really is; a signal to all shareholders and employees as a sign of desperation. And if that isn’t reason enough to pause then consider this; your meekest mildest employees might just become your worst enemies.
