it would be perfectly reasonable for the OP to input into that decision As a recent employee, the OP was not there when the consultants were taking input. It looks like the decision was made before the OP came on board. At this point the

The Atlantic’s historical reputation is for its bold anti-slavery stance, muck-raking journalism, and literary bent. It abandoned that history when Jobs purchased it. Your argument from authority was based on referencing the magazine’s gran
