8 to 9% YOY growth? Well if losing knowledge, Pi$$ing off the remaining employees, fostering an environment of doubt and instability is worth the short term gain, go for it. I think this is harmful to the long term picture but Cote doesn't care long term as he's leaving anyway. No accountability.
Selling this pig anyway. Future at Hon is software.
