Could only watch the first 5mins of this - unbelievable nonsense.
How much do we pay Forbes to entertain us?

Forbes will write whatever you want for a fee that starts at $10k. As long as delusional executives like SM get their egos stoked by seeing their picture surrounded by flattering words in a glossy magazine, the farce will continue. HA's Top Women in Leadership award was the same pay to play nonsense. Real leaders with real accomplishments don't need to resort to these kinds of childish games.
Define real deal please and explain his plan to grow revenue and win new customers
Wow we sure have a SM’s bu-t kissers attention now don’t we. How much do you get paid to spread bs? Or is this our boy wonder strategy vp talking out of his bu-t again?
Forbes reminds me of the BBB. I watched the BBB give an A+ to a horrible eCom company until we had money problems and stopped paying the membership (then we finally got the D rating we deserved). Since TD keeps getting "Ethical Company of the Year", "Best Place to Work" or other big accolades, and after personally experiencing the toxic environment it really is, there has to be a payout somewhere.
Don't believe what you read in Forbes. They will write whatever they pay them to write. All those articles about the best places to work are bunch of cr-p. I stopped reading those articles after they wrote about what a great place my workplace was. All those managers who supported that article and emailed the article link around the office were fired or laid off a year later along with half the company. Forbes is full of cr-p and sell themselves to any low to mid-level bidder (doesn't have to be the highest bidder).
can't argue with the stock price, it was more than 2x since SM took over, maybe Oliver was right, I remembered he said TDC should be couple hundred bucks. I sure hope he was right
Say that once he proves he can grow revenue. Anyone can cut costs.
Like it or not, SM is the real deal.
