Morning Russ.

Just a quick stop by before heading to my second home. And it’s not the bcbpV1.0.

Oh, this is quite a situation, lol.
Because there is no OJT or back-up personnel here, my replacement (new hire) will start 2-13-23. This is a 1 year learning curve position, just to be dangerous.
So, my co-workers don't know it yet, but my territory responsibilities will be split up amongst (3-4) current staff for the next 9 months to a year, and then transition to new gal.
It's a cluster fart of significant scale in my world, and my coworkers will have a fit. Ultimately my territory and TM's suffer in a competitive environment. This company has grown too large.

Here's the plan:
1. Buy other companies, and eliminate staff.
2. Continue staff cuts at legacy companies almost past the breaking point.
3. Maintain and grow some of the current, best gross margins seen in the industry.

This company is obviously going public but has held off the last couple years, I suspect due to market conditions. It's becoming a house of cards.
