“Mr Brown, to me it looks as if your friend knows what he is doing. I'm a senior manager for a national company and I know our CEO has adopted the same approach. Don't worry about your employees, once the new management team take over in the next year or so, they can clear up the mess the current Board of Directors have left behind. No more Boom or Bust as they say.”
