Dwight,
"It's only natural that a former employee might have an ax to grind. It's my job to weigh what they say against other known facts, and obvious conditions."
I think the operative phrase there is "an axe to grind". Getting info from former employees is like reading yesterdays' race form. Its old news and its probably soiled.
"If a person leaves a job they've held for a while it's only logical that they still have friends there. Those friends are often more than happy to keep them posted on what is currently going on. I think most people have been in that position."
So, let me understand this. Active employees, through their departed bretheren, are providing you with inside info. All of it apocalyptic in nature and, if nothing else, damning to current management and the Company as a whole. According to these "active" employees, the Company is in a downward spiral, management is dishonest and incompetent and the the Business itself is unfixable, the stock is for fools. If only those stupid investors would listen to Dwight. We are trying to warn them.
And yet, these same sources, these active employees channeling through Friends-who-have-departed, choose to stay and work and support their families and further their careers at a venture-of-the-damned called NTN Communications. Doesn't make much sense to me, Dwight. Why would someone dumb enough to stay at a company that is headed for the trash bin (and then badmouthing it to outsiders thereby hastening the process) be trusted as a source of intelligent info?
"Why do you worry so much about me and the former employees when there is so much to worry about at NTN?"
I'm betting some excess cash on this venture. Your "insiders" are betting their livelihoods and their careers. Who do YOU think should be worrying?
