On a personal level he took over a local manufacturing co. in the city I live in. My former neighbor was working there when he took over the company. In a press release he said he was pleased with managements performance at the company and they should continue to operate as they were. My neighbor in his early 60's was worked 7 days a week , 11 to 12 hr. days. It was apparent they were trying to force him out. They accomplished their goal , he had a stroke on the job and died a few days later. I agree Warren was not responsible personally , I don't know where the buck stops. I lost a good neighbor soon after his dog passed.
- valuearb 10y agoSounds like you have a problem with the owners/managers, not Warren. Do you really think he came all the way from Nebraska to point out your neighbor and tell management to work him to death? Warren is notoriously hands off with the businesses he buys. He typically buys them because they are well run and he doesn't have time to fix anything.
