I was kind of with him at the start. He did make some good points, but he handled the situation poorly. He lost me when he blamed the firing of 25 people on the misdeeds of one person and more so when the expansion office was to be staffed with a lot of orphans ... I think he was just pissed

For me it wasnt the firing that was funny. Calling a company meeting to yell at and demean and fire your staff, in retaliation for the leak of rumors about future potential layoffs, which is then recorded, leaked to the press, and which locally in town goes viral, and shows the whole town that no

Self-righteous. You forgot self-righteous. To start a meeting with a prayer calling on God to out the perps, to compare himself with Jesus. What a wanker. But you're right - it's not funny. Firing the innocent to prove his point or to force them to rat on their co-workers. Management of the

I am not seeing the hilarity, beyond someone recorded him being a total jackass and gave it to the press. OK. To be outed as a petulant, petty, lying, abusive, vindictive, exploitative, avaricious asshole in a community where he is considered an upstanding leader is a bit hilarious. I bet th

I thought this story that one of our papers posted yesterday is hilarious. Listen to the audio from the meeting. The guy is a tool in so many ways. But to me, the best part is that the meeting (which was called to yell at employees (and randomly fire 25 as collective punishment) for talking abou
