If it's anything like the posts that are already on here from their meetings, then I guess today we are all in for a real treat...

Wow. How is that man the new leader for a tenured sales organization? Technologically challenged right out of the gate and completely unprepared. Not to mention he made it point to insult those who chose a different path besides college to gain their... — read more 

Today's promotions, for the most part, are an embarrassment. Some were well-deserving, and some I totally scratched my head over. So many others, so talented, were left in the darkness. For the life of me, how do they get this wrong each... — read more

So here we are, the third year of the Kobayashi Regime is about to begin. The faux post-COVID “growth” has all but withered up and, if the trend continues, a nose dive should be expected in 2026. In late 2022, Ogawa proclaimed that the company MUST... — read more 

Not sure how anyone else's location is, but South Jersey is ridiculous.. Considering people are packing up for our location renovations, aimlessly walking around because everyone's work is DONE.. instead of saying "Hey everyone, you can all leave an... — read more

How about we create a list of song dedications to a few of the stellar leaders going into 2026? My choice for Sammi in 2026 is “King Nothing” by Metallica 1996. Give it a listen and see if you think it fits. Other suggestions for the January... — read more 

You know, I get they want to do something nice before the holiday but you know what I think everyone would have liked? It would have been nice if they said "Hey, you all can WFH on Wednesday. The fact that there are barely any people in the office... — read more

Shall we read between the lines or take some guesses aftet today's communication?

That “Fireside Chat” today was beyond corny and completely useless. I’m sure the 1933 evening radio programs were much more informative and reassuring to the American people. Totally scripted questions which were rehearsed, regurgitated answers that... — read more
