FF: Keep up the fantastic, diligent work.
I've always had a rule of thumb, that when a new guy steps into management, he has a 6 month "honeymoon". During that period, he probably is learning the ropes and dealing with the stuff others left him. After that, he has to demonstrate what he is worth. He has had a chance to "influence" the organization and it is his mark on things after that period.
There is still a lot of damage control, and no constructive conference calls yet. They should have identified their problems by now so it is time for the lead players to step forward and lay out where things are and some semblance of a plan. The '98, 3-quarter financials will go a long way to this end, if there is enough detail.
So, the comments are not reflective of you, or your efforts and interest. You seem to be presenting from a solid base, and are contributing "above and beyond" the call. If everyone pestered management, the info. pipe would shut down, so discretion on the part of many is in order. Nevertheless, its time for Randy to step forward, and lay it out first hand, even if it is a soliloquy. |
