Qualifying Statement…

It’s true, I need to monitor what I say, and keep my anonymity. I still don't think there is anything wrong with posting my opinions online. I still encourage others to join me. In fact I encourage any of you with the same ‘passion’ to create another blog, and I’ll probably link to it.

I haven’t lied. Things I previously posted were factual, perhaps emotionally skewed, granted, but I wasn’t fabricating. I removed anything that seemed ‘unbecoming’ for the company. But the truth is what it is. For those of us that ‘lived it’, you know whether or not there is any truth behind what was written by those who posted. I suppose that’s why there has been some attention to the blog. If there was no truth to any of the previous posts…why did it cause such a stir?

I do have friends at the company. I am concerned about the attention my screenname is getting. I would like to see change for the employees. I want to see success for the company and its employees. Maybe we’re past the *shock*. I hope so. I don’t really think it’s all that shocking. Anything I typed here, I said at one time or another while an employee.

Lastly, if Leadership is still reading…remember there is no such thing as bad publicity. The thought that someone’s blog entry would deter a potential hire is *i think* the only downside to the opinions posted here. For each of these blog entries there are equal amounts of *great* press about ePrize.

Take time to visit the other blog listed in the sidebar. I will maintain this for as long as I'm 'allowed' to. But you may note a decline in my banter for awhile.

Mini-Refresh

Gotta clean it up guys. I can see the suits parked outside my place. I can't let a blog send me to court. Some of the old posts had to be deleted. It seems 'the company' is not too thrilled with our take on things, so lets try to play fair.

For those of you who would like to play nice for a while, stick around. Let's give them the suggestions they're asking for. The 'former' employees will play nice, if the current employee's will.

You have read our rants and now they are gone (from this URL).

See the previous post for a chain with no name calling....and carry on.

If we can't stay within our legal limits...I'll have to dismantle.

Give them what they are asking for....

In an effort to get a new thread started, I'll give you a topic, so you can talk amongst yourselves. I'm out for a while.

Anyhow I'll try to get things back on track for everyone.

What statement can you send ePrize management that you think would help the current employees? (as we all know they are reading this blog rather than addresssing any 'actual' issues)

Here's mine...

Send Sales on a Short leave (say 6-8 weeks). (hell you could even pay them to leave for awhile) Let production get caught up, and get back to the best case scenario, instead of every project being a fire. Then start selling gradually again.

Ok, so the business might take a loss for the Quarter, clients may pile up, but I think you have the financial 'padding' to deal with that in the long-term.

What do y'all think?
