he was just a gelded mouthpiece there to do what he was told despite the best interests of business. Frankly, the only interaction we ever had with him was 1.) pitiful sales advisory meetings where decisions were made ahead of time and all we heard was the "we care, listen and fight for sales" spew 2.) an occasional email 3.) National meeting between work outs and rub downs 4.) home office where he walked around like Kramer from Seinfeld-"do you work here?" What did he ever do or accomplish? Certainly nothing positive culturally. My biggest gripe with him was the hypocrisy (i.e. fight, care for sales blah blah). Dude, you gave your balls to Marshall to hang behind his door. You should have had some respect for Phili and manned up along time ago. YOUR ACTIONS AND LACK OF SELF-RESPECT LET THE TEAM DOWN AND YOU SHOWED A CRITICAL CHARACTER FLAW IN LEADERSHIP. You had an executive position and didn't earn it, that is not only sad but pathetic.
