Almost 20 yrs , In that time I had to dumb myself down to all of the leaders that were full of themselves. Incompetent is probably not a strong enough word. Treat the customers like idiots, it's ok to be shady, because they will never be leaving with... — read more

Any credible news on this happening on 5/5?
