I heard a rumor that Angus Association let go some staff and fieldmen last week? Is that true?

You really think so?? Perhaps the mutineers had good reason only to be rounded up, chastised and thrown to the dogs.Jake":36gqwdgu said:TexasBred":36gqwdgu said:Typical....CEO survives and the working guys get canned.
Sounds as though it was a mutiny orchestrated by the COO who wanted the CEO's job. Mutiny failed, so they probably expected to be fired. Not sure what the original cause was but sounds like a transition period for the association until they fill some job openings

So, these are challenging times? I sold feeder calves for over $1200 last week.

Probably should have chosen to ignore this, but do you even read the conversation and what is going on before posting?
It is challenging times for the association when they are now down 15 employees many of whom were influential people.
Many (too many) BOD's are little more than "Boards of Approval". They simply rubber stamp any recommendation coming from the CEO rather than risk losing a director's fee. You can probably read 25 years of BOD minutes and not find two dissenting votes on anything.bse":2pkc5r52 said:Not sure what the letter the 15 signed was about, but seems they tried to get there boss ousted, backfired on them, the BOD sided with the CEO.
Lot of years experience left, sometimes new folks with new ideas is a good thing, no loss for me on RM, he has never had a word to say to me anyway you have to have a lot of cattle for him to speak to you, can't say for the rest of them but no loss in my opinion for our region.

My guess: underlying budget problems.

Glad a Hereford breeder is so knowledgeable about why AAA employees tried to get their boss fired.

It's called common sense and yes, I do read others posts before I respond. A CEO doesn't fire 15 employees and then complain about having created "challenging times". Cow numbers are down across the country. AHA raised its fees last fall, they'll probably do it again. Most CEOs are overpaid and most of the low men on the totum pole are underpaid.

Go read about what actually happened and the reasons it was carried out instead of applying your "common sense" I don't read the statement issues as complaining it is informing of membership of a change in who is going to be dealing with them on a daily basis and to expect some challenges as they replace the staff. You're are trying to talk about something that has no place in the discussion of these events.
