Re: Simply not good....
Noah mercy you are dead on! My father worked fo home depot for 20 years, 15 of which as a regional trainer. He watched them push out all the seasoned proffesional full timers and replace them with part timers who knew next to knothing and cared even less than that. Tey eliminated 2500 trainers via conference call to cut labor. Thisisthe only major company I ever heard of go entire quaters without ordering product to stock the stores simply to over inflate the bottom line.
You think its hard some times to get parts or service now in this industry, just wait till this prick sets the new standard for doing buisness in the industry.
As much asi despie this guy I can't completely fault him. We created the system andallow it to continue andhe has found the easiest wa to exploit it. In the era of day trading andshortterm investing creating a company that can standup to generations is just more work than it warrants and the ROI on doing business the right way simply isn't needed when the short term win fall for these guys in stock options isso easy to get.
But I agree, if we like the idea of remington and let's be honest all its smaller names as well, start writing now and get ever forum your apart of talking about it.
Towards the end of his career at homedepot this guy, when ever entering one of his storesfr publicity came with afull security detail because they were convinced an employee was ging to try to kill him, and they were probaly smart to do that. I've worked for some major companies before ad met many CEO's, never once did they com in and d a securty sweep.
