Anyone else suspect there will be no focal this year?

They favor one of their favorite employees(the Elite), and treat the others as sh-t. I predict RBR will do down soon, same as Oracle :)

That's the problem with these big corporations. They spent $150M in buyback but don't give employees bonus. Just pathetic
