Take this as an agreement with you wlayton.
If I were working for you, however my sales efforts were not producing bottom line numbers, wonder how long you would keep forking out the greenbacks.
You go to the "suspense file" and say to me, Buc you did not meet the margins last year, going to give you another year to turn the red to black. Of course I accept and promise that I will do better, work harder, show you the botttom line that you want.
Problem is I did not hit the numbers second time around that you put on my plate. Now what do you say to me? Buc, you have been a good and loyal employee for many years, against my better judgment and stockholders concerns you get one more year. Now file this away Buc, this is the second year that I have gone to the wall for you. I know that you made the numbers the first five years, however the folks that depend on me doing my job are not just restless, they are fed up.
So, I extended your working cycle by two years, the bottom line did not change. Looks like I wasted two years on you, and now I have to face the stockholders . . . in this case the fans.
This is what I think that we are going to see. I would hope not, but I am a realist. Much like your source said . . . it does not look good.
