Wow, I came across this today and can't believe the thread here. First, let me say that I am the QC Director that was let go. I am deeply touched by the sentiments of some of the first comments, but this escalated quickly out of hand, apparently by some former disgruntled employees.
Let me set a few things straight:
1. While I do not agree with the decisions made,I fully understand it was what JM and CM felt to be a business decision. I do not believe there was any ill intent in the move, and I still hold both of them in the highest regards, professionally. In fact, somebody (no names mentioned) owes me a deep sea trip still!
2. For those prospective employees, let me tell you about the QC Team. Those guys went to hell and back for me. I worked along side some of the most talented and dedicated individuals there are in that team, and I miss them dearly. In fact, I told them I would not leave until the last one walked out the door. BIG MISTAKE! Those suckers kept me there 70 hours a week! Lol.
3. Yes, there are problems stemming from a bad audit, but we were making strides. I saw us being out of the hole in three months prior to my departure.
4. Your mid level management team is second to none. They are either the first there, or the last to leave. They are dedicated to you.
5. Don't be afraid of the opportunity here. Just because I did not work out, does not mean you won't.
Don't listen to negative comments. There can be a bright future here. The team is there, they just need a little more time and help. Best of luck Noven, I wish nothing but the best for you!
