The Company had idiot middle managers in 2006 and I made the comment that the left hand didn't know what the right was doing. Those so-called mid-managers were disposed of a short time after I was fired for, in effect, speaking out.
The AVP in North Carolina was a total zero and his minions just followed and agreed. I took a branch from last in sales to #3 in a two year period and was fired!! Once the Drs. I had known for years discovered I was no longer there the new business essentially dried up. What a waste of talent and effort that brought a failing branch back to productivity. At that point, I knew the Company was doomed to failure and that's exactly what has happened.
