Enough moves like this and nobody is going to want to work for this company. Enough moves like this and the CEO (Jason), a huge pre-madonna and drama queen, is going to have a tough time getting money from investors for his next "venture". Kudos for him for trying, but he certainly strikes me as a CEO I wouldn't want to work for.

- md224 12y agoNot sure if you're just being snarky, but I would assume people who write "pre-Madonna" are under the impression it's a reference to the pop star (which sort of makes sense).

- icpmacdo 12y agoDude good job this is the best way I have seen correcting a persons grammar with out derailing the argument.
- argonaut 12y agoThat's a bit extreme. If they offered me 500k in cash to work for them, I would take any shit management throws as me. :)
