Their first set of changes pretty much drove me away.
Now that I see how they treat their employees, I'm finished with them for good.
Yes, I am a business owner, have been many different times over the years and I would NEVER treat my people like this.
I was once on the receiving end of such a cold move before the Holidays when I had young babies and a new family to take care of.
I swore then, even in my late 20s, that I would never become someone like that, no matter how life's fortunes treated me along the way.
It was a good, though harsh, lesson. I haven't gone back on my principles, nor will I.
I can do without ANACS and I hope many others feel the same way.
Just because America's business model has devolved over the years doesn't make it right nor moral.

Looks like he has a 1/2/08 deadline to be up and running again (due to FUN'08?).
Now, what it does show me is someone who might be good from a solo perspective but not from a "running the business" perspective.
You can't do what JT did and not expect things to leak out and rumors go flying.
In the coin biz, you can't expect rumors to be a good thing.
Imho, he should have had the email keyed to go out, the website change ready to flip, etc etc etc timed for the very moment one tells employees.
Telling employees should have been roughly 2-tiered.... upper mgmt/employees and then, immediately after (or simultaneously by a trusted #2 person) for the rest of the employees.
Any good will that he may have gotten, by doing this maybe in Feb/Mar, is more than lost by doing it when he did. Even with his 4 week plan initially, that is still holiday season.
Many employers only look at the money and leave out human factors....they feel that people should be thankful for the job. Well, some employers learn the hard way that you don't get LOYALTY from your employees that way and loyalty is an important intangible in a lot of businesses.
Good luck to the employees.....
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

The company is not being relocated, only its name, its assets (sans employees), and its business responsibilities. Everything else is being scattered to the winds of chance!
Merry Christmas!
The name is LEE!

First thing I thought when I read that "back in action" January 2 line.
