Brendan must have started drinking judging by the typing.

I don't see where this adds anything useful. Did you have a purpose in posting this?

Lonn... Didn't we ALL receive this same e-mail,(w/o the typos)?

Mine was much more personal, a couple of kilt jokes, stuff like that.

He asked me for a reading! ;)

I didn't get an email!  :(

Leesa, He is saving the best for last!

<--------- Feeling so left out......

Note to Brendan: Thanks for the offer but I am happy here in Texas. I don't think I have ever been offered that much money before. That new venture does sound exciting, maybe 10 years ahead of its time, but exciting just the same.

. . . and I told him Brendan, ditch that sillyass hobby and go get a haircut and a real job!  :)

He is coming to visit me.  Since i haven't heard from Carey after my invitation to him to come to Va. Beach, Brendan emailed and asked if he could come.  I said, Heck Ya!!  I just gotta talk to Craig and Radz and see if they can squeeze it into their schedules.  How about it guys?

Shelly

Let's do it. I'm thinking "Family Style" at Maggiano's in Tysons Corner. Delicious... or were you thinking VA Beach? brb got to bust out p' squats...

I tried convincing Brendan to come to the Cape soon.  Alas, even though it's warmer here than 'Toon Town, he still declined.  Not enough of a climate change.  We made a date Memorial Day weekend for the opening of the Chart Room.  I'll be treating him to a wicked p*ssa lobster roll!

Tell Bren (I call him Bren) I said hi and the thing we talked about is a go.

I told him to stay the hell away from Vegas, what is he thinking? I mean for goddess's sake he's unemployed!

Unemployed, maybe.  Broke?  Def not!  B ( I call him B ) and I have the same financial advisor.

Okay then, he can come back to Vegas but he's buying!

B and I were chatting just the other night, I didn't get an email though. Oh, and Carey, I put the good word in for you.

My text message from B simply said "you're hired."  I'm assuming he meant the telecommuting from Seattle position we had discussed last week.

I was having lunch today with Bubba. (That's what I call him, it's a Southern thing) He said everything is going fine, eh! You just can't get the Canadian out of them even when it's 85 and sunny. He was looking at property and I don't want to spill any beans but cyberspace includes Florida.

is it too late for me to apply?

Omg, this is all too funny.  Such a fuss.  The 'email' and Inmann write up was all on Brendon's blog the day before.  :rofl:    *sigh*

You're offended? What makes you think that anyone owes you an explanation?

I don't blame anyone for wanting to know, and there's nothing wrong with trying to trying to find out, but I am amazed that some think they have a right to know all of the details behind this falling out.

Point 2 is a private company and the individuals that left were employees of a private company. They're certainly entitled to whatever level of privacy they feel is appropriate when it comes to issues with their employer.

Your monthly subscription fee does not entitle you to know everything about the company and its people. Should your employer make a public announcement when someone leaves the company?

Point2 is accountable to its customers for product related issues and corporate citizenship issues. If they fail to deliver what they've promised, you have a right to complain and to demand answers. Until you're a shareholder, you have no right to demand an explanation on issues between a private employer and its employees.

I understand how "demand" is over-the-top, but I would suggest to P2, if they share the same sentiments, to watch their language and not create questions. Both Willick's and King's releases used language that begged the questions. Perhaps P2 and King should have said - It's a private matter, the company is on the same track, all is being taken care of, we assure you quality and continued innovation - period.

I just spoke to "The King" (that's what I call him).  He's working on a new show called, "Days of our P2 lives".

Oh, and he's flying here for Christmas too.  We're then picking up Vance, Gary and Tim.  He wanted though to make sure Voldermort wouldn't be there.  I assured him no.

I really need to have a chat with The King, he certainly does get around!

I have to go with Norm on this one. The specific reasons for anyone leaving are none of my business. And as long as P2 delivers a superior product, that's all that really matters to me.

Am I concerned? Sure. Deeply offended? Not even close. Brendan said they would continue to deliver, and Barry said they would continue to deliver. I have no reason to doubt them, they have always delivered in the past.

*If* they fail to deliver, then it's time to re-evaluate. Doesn't make a lot of sense to dwell on "what ifs".  Prepare a contingency plan and stay up with what's happening -- that's about all one can do.

It may not be any of our business but doggonit I'm curious as all gitkgo!  I'll be real curious to see where they all end up.

Anyone want to venture a guess as to whether or not they start something on their own versus being hired by a competitor?

Thanks Norm! simply put..

If we instead focus our energy into doing something excellent for ourselves, our businesses or someone deserving of our time and attention . . .

As Dr Seuss would say, "Oh the places you'll go" . . . :)

I keep waiting for Jack Nicholson to pop in here and say, "TRUTH, you want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"

Hi Bill  Heeeeers Jack

Lonn,

I agree that you have the right to ask the question but statements like, "I'm offended" suggest that these people have done you wrong by not sharing openly. Let's assume for a moment that they didn't all actually resign (I have no reason to believe that's the case). Would it be fair for their employer make a public issue of the perceived shortcomings that led to their dismissal?

Hey, I want to know as well, but I think that these parties have shown a great deal of class, wisdom, and respect for the each other by keeping their mouths shut. If nothing else, that should give us some comfort. I’d be concerned if they were tearing each other apart in public. It's not easy to keep quiet when you feel like you haven't been heard. More often than not, it's the right thing to do.

I completely agree with you Norm...but here's the thing,

Controversy is one of the mothers of "popular" blog posts, insofar as hit counts and comments go....not that there's anything wrong with anyone having that as as a motive for posting blogs..no, not at all.

Carl,

Again, I have no issues with writing about it, talking about it, speculating about it, etc. I just don't think that those involved owe me an explanation if they choose to remain silent. People still have right to some privacy. That's all.

I don't see how this thread is productive, a positive learning experience, or a good use of time.  I'm almost ashamed to write in it.  People can do as they will, and if theres a personal probelm with it, then take it personally and privately, don't try to stir up a hornets nest on a blog.  Is this what we really want people to find when searching about info on realtors on the internet, to come across some pointless thread demanding someone expose their personal reasons for doing something as private as changing a job?  I itnhk we should have better things to do.  My point2 account is just as great as it was before Brendan left, so I don't have concern for where he went, and don't see it as my righ to know where he went.  I think we should assess our priorities, this isn't one.  I'd suggest Brendan not dignify this thread with a response.
