Thread regarding Follett layoffs

Q. What have you done so far at Follett for past two years?

We invested a record amount of capital in our strategic plan this year and over the next three years, which will be more than we’ve invested in the previous five years combined. We took three of our seven locations and consolidated them here in Westchester. We historically operated as two autonomous businesses — the college course materials and specialty retail, and the kindergarten through 12th grade course materials — and now we've come together more than we have ever in the past.

I speak from personal experience. You don't have to like it, but that doesn't change my experience.

It SOUNDS good, but you have to forgive me for being skeptical after all the blatant lies we have been told over the past year. Beyond that I am concerned about investment without a solid plan. Throwing money at off shore consultants with vague directions to develop some piece of software results in total crap. Then the local people get the joy of trying to fix the mess. But senior management doesn't seem to know the difference between well designed software and total garbage.
