[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 905450, member: 10086"] I gave you an agree not necessarily because I fully agreed with every point you made (of many), but because I resemble the frustration as a whole with past moves. I also like the boldness of your post it shows passion and I align with that passion. Some apologists of bad decisions say “it’s a business” but they use it in the wrong context. Like business just want to screw everyone and that’s not how businesses get successful. Not long term thinking businesses that want to stay in business, that’s short sided business and it’s short lived if left uncorrected. As an example, I worked for Circuit City in its heyday. It was the #1 producing stock on the Fortune 500 in the 1980’s. By 2005 a multitude of so called “bright young corporate types” drug it down with poor vision. Everyone said the changes were because “it’s a business”. That statement in itself doesn’t forgive mistakes in business. Circuit City was in Bankruptcy trouble by 2005 and went out of business a short while later. I personally saw Richard Sharp make an empire (he was key in bringing in Computers snd CD’s in the early 1990’s Gulf War recession period and started the brilliant concept of “price matching” LPG low price Guarantee + 10%) When Sharp walked to create CarMax in the later 1990’s ? Circuit City crumbled. That was largely because Sharp knew people and his customer and employees and he was the Vince Lombardi of getting the best from them. I know because I was a “President Club” award employee and he made a young not so important 20 year old feel important. I didn’t deserve that.. but Aaron Rodgers sure does!! Nobody but nobody is immune to the effect of poor decisions or arrogance or disdain for those that serve them. Not even the Green Bay Packers. Do I want them to fail? Heck no. But the truth is the truth and they’d better wake up before it’s too late because we could be the new version Cleveland Browns in a very short fashion if we’re not careful. [/QUOTE]
