If people stop that sub the strategic rationale for a big payroll goes away - and I think they'll try new management before they give up.

The whole thing is shocking. It’s all an out positioning so Shapiro must’ve had an amazingly compelling vision. But at its core Atkins has failed at so much, with an appropriate sample. It just made sense to dump him. I’m not angry at this decision but never has an executive had this much leeway. From a consistency perspective this doesn’t sit right. Why does Atkins get so much rope?
