eth2 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 What if we were all to chip in, buy Klipsch and fire the a**hole who let Amy get away. We could then hire her back as we would be the new owners! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could then hire her back as we would be the new owners! Completely agree, but "Thornton Mellon" would be the only one with that kind of common sense, and im afraid he is unavailable.

eth2 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Voxx International is the current owner. We could all buy one share, go to the annual stockholders' meeting and give our one minute rendition of "Stupid is as stupid does" to the Board of Directors. Any other ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Yep, I'd like to know the whole story. But as long as Amy's Happy, I'm Happy for her. Still going to miss her. Chad and Alex just cannot compare. I don't care how short their skirts are. Maybe I should make that how long their skirts are and how many petticoats they wear. I don't think any make up will help either! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ================================================================================================================ ================================================================================================================ PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE ANY CHANGES YOU SEE FIT.

CECAA850 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This may all be of her doing and she doesn't want to be saved. You never know. Going under the assumption that they'd be stupid to let her go, I'd think she's moving on to greener pastures and good for her. Klipsch's loss is her new employers gain. If I let someone go, I never give them one or two weeks notice. I doubt Klipsch would either which makes me think she's going to a better situation for her personally. I wish her nothing but good luck however good employees seldom need luck to succeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsear Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 There are times when a person simply decides another role is desired. Could be an opportunity Amy has wanted since she was a child and has the opportunity to give it a shot. Could be frustration. Every Bose ad I hear on Pandora is like a thistle barb stuck in my thumb. Klipsch must be a frustrating company to work for in certain regards. Taking personal action seeing such conflicts of judgment is what sets leaders apart from followers and I can see that character in our Amy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I always tried to make sure my best employees were challenged and rewarded. So, as VOXX is a huge organization with limitless opportunities, they failed in their responsibility of compensating and/or challenging a valuable employee. (IMHO) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(IMHO) Sometimes there's no bad guy and you just want to change. I'm perfectly content in my job but if something popped up that interested me, I'd certainly listen. I'd also have nothing but good things to say about my current employer if I were to leave. I wouldn't think they failed me, it would be a me thing, not a them thing.

ssh Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 We lost over twenty teachers of a staff of just over a hundred at our high school this year. Two are renters and neighbors of mine- One retired and the other is just moving on. I heard at least a dozen underlying reasons for the flight. I'm not aware of even one who was not offered another contract. I hope Amy is as happy as my neighbor who just retired! SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I know many teachers who are fed up. Common core requirements are being poorly implemented, testing is overtaking teaching time, administrators are trying to cta by scapegoating teachers, class sizes are skyrocketing.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth2 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Very few absolute statements are defensible, and it is a sophist tactic to attack an argument by applying a literal interpretation to a general statement. However, in my experience representing teachers, administrators caught between budget constraints and state requirements are all to often willing to scapegoat teachers to save themselves.
