That's okay.
This entire blog is
meant to be therapeutic, but if someone else should happen to see it...oh, well.
The point being, you really have to be careful what you write these days. In fact, you have to be really careful what you Tweet, blog, Pip, e-mail, text, etc. Used to, if you wanted to send a message, you used a carrier pigeon or the Pony Express.
Nowadays, if you as much as think a thought, something's going to transmit it to the entire world in a nanosecond. Yet, we still have to wait an hour to get into a doctor's office we made an appointment to see.
This is way off track.
So a company I do business with is changing its product line, forcing me out of business with them.
That's fair, I suppose, since they're holding all the chips, and I am a mere player at their table.
The aggravating thing about it is that the pot on the table has been shrinking exponentially since the company changed the name of the game, and refused to re-market it.
Customers fell off (surprise!) and revenues have literally been cut in half over the past 10-months.
So now they decide to just clean house, blaming their customers for the loss of market share--never for once acknowledging they're the source of the problem in the first place.
A comment attributed to one of the company's local executives was passed to me today, to the effect that this operation could do as well by offering nothing to its consumers, as keeping the current crop of customers on line.
That's pretty insulting, when it's the company's decision to allow the business to fail through its own attrition.
Yes, these comments are veiled.
If you're reading and you don't understand, you're not supposed to. If you are, and you do, and you're part of the problem, shame on you for your profligacy.
You dim-wit.
