TypeO Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Seems the CEO of Borders has jumped ship to take a position elsewhere. Happens all the time, right? Guy I know at another forum has a girlfriend in Borders management. Check out this internal memo the same CEO sent out just over a week ago... We need a "totally committed group of people here who want Borders to succeed." Guess he himself just didn't happen to be a part of that particular group. Translation: Just let these stock-options stay where they are long enough for me to find a better gig and sell them off! lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryD Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It's just more of the typical, "Do as I say, not as I do" schpeil from authoritative figures to the sheepish population. Loyalty must come from all angles, if not, why succumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonzoLikeDrumer Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Company I worked for a while back had a plant manager come through but he soon moved on to a better gig. It happens all the time every where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake of Shadows Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well, he did say they couldn't afford the luxury of not doing what needs to be done... and that they all share responsibility for the outcome, starting with him... maybe he's just doing those things or leading by example? Perhaps he read his own memo... and decided he'd better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yea, i heard about this on the way home from work. Seems this guy went on to become CEO of A&P grocery stores and a whole bunch of folks at Borders lost their jobs. What a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
