I may be a simple caveman who barely understands your rules and customs.... but those severance packages were no where near what I would have expected from a company of this size.

That's why I thought it does not look good if they don't have enough cash to pay this as a lump sum

 

[Nee Lewman]

Getting rid of all these -13% margins they should be able to lower the prices forum customers not raise them

Catching up on these last pages. And they say problem was the cost of international subs.

They are doing too much at once. They clearly didn’t move enough during their recent sales and are in straight up panic mode. I imagine some of that is they know there is certain percentage that is coming up for renewal that will not because of the deals last year. Raising the sub price will only exacerbate that exodus especially combined with just cutting off a whole section of their sub base.

I mentioned on the discord that they should do some focus group in solution to issues and was told by a poster they were…. I assume this really refers to the @yukbon survey thingamabob… which is not really what I was talking about but I don’t have the energy to argue with those yokels.

Like they should have asked some international subscribers about what moving forward looked like. But whatevs.

This isn’t some Fortune 500 company. lol.

I assume it was the equivalent of a year’s salary.

I also assume Cam’s was so small in part to being a founder/owner and assuming he would be there till death.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Based on Gary getting a “lunch allowance” and all the defendants being owners, I assume there was some compensation that was not salary.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Also if they pulled Gary away for $165k and lunches, maybe Chad should have paid him more.

Edit: I forgot rekkids. They all get paid in rekkids too.

They're doing one on one phone calls with customers.

Okay, still not a focus group. Like part of having a group of people is so you can talk through shit. Right. Like see what the crazy ass responses to various things are….

 

[Nee Lewman]

Also, Matt calls me, I’m cussing him the fuck out.

Poor Elton, no more VMP rekkids.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I wonder if he is comped. I also wonder if he is, did they kick him off RTR.

@duke86fan there’s your questions for the TownHall.

Also what the fuck… we’re a company that has Townhalls for you customers like you work for us and we have some bad news to deliver. Do they serve lunch at these?

No idea how any of that works. Not my industry of choice. I would assume focus groups go like this

" Winistorfer here from vmp asking about future directions.
1. Which of the following 4 obscure records from the stax vault would you choose for essentials next year,?"

 

[Nee Lewman]

Man how defensive would they actually get when I truly gave them a piece of my mind.

If you can do it in a way that is well written? I'd say do it

But I liked the part in the files where they argued with the board that they need to build their own plant because qrp might not be able to fulfill their pressing needs anymore without mentioning that the reason for this is that they pulled their plant manager away.
A bunch of their shenanigans would probably make a decent sitcom
