Q1 doesn't look promising

With 20 year tenured customers leaving us and freezes placed on previous hiring announcements I think Q1 announcements are not going to be good. Leadership is just trying to figure out how ro position it so stockholders don't go inro a frenzy. — read more

You will never win
