Here are a few of the blog posts saved for just this occasion.<br><br><br> <br>To the current and former company folks who have posted and commented, thanks for enlightening me. It is nice to get facts, not fiction.<br><br><br>A couple quotes that caught my eye from the original post and subsequent comments... {1} \"Staff members were apparently upset with the way top execs were running the show\" {2} \"Keep Your Key Players Happy ...don't ever gamble with something you are not willing to lose\" {3} \"Don't have a puppet board of directors\" {4} \"If people want change you have to stand up and make it happen\" {5} \"you can't have a CFO that buys everything he needs to build a fence at Wal-Mart and then returns those things when he is done building his fence\" <br><br>{1} \"Staff members were apparently upset with the way top execs were running the show\". In companies it is wise to look deeper than top execs too...the quote could read, \"team members were apparently upset with the way class A shareholders were running the show\" <br><br>With that in mind, quote number {2} \"Keep Your Key Players Happy...don't ever gamble with something you are not willing to lose\". That could be scriptural it's so true. For a moment imagine an eleven year old company with \"key players\" (many who have been active for nearly a decade) holding a trifling amount of company shares. It IS called gambling, and unless you're David \"Chip\" Reese I wouldn't mess with the odds because odds are that \"key players\" will walk. Some call shares 'golden handcuffs' - kinky! (It also could be called \"How TO run a company\"). After more than a decade not one of the key players had more than * 1.5% of company shares (most had well under *1%. For some \"key players,\" most, if not all, of their shares were purchased).<br><br>While I am on the subject of share assignment, here are some other thoughts on how not to run a company. When nearly *70% of a company's shares are held by 4 (of 5) founding Class A shareholders who are not active in the business (they don't hold titles/positions and they do not contribute to company value); send up a flare. When 3 of 5 founders have NEVER been active in the business and after 11 years still hold over *50% of shares, send up the second flare. When 3 founders have recently been joined on the inactive shareholder roster by another Class A founder (sometimes inactive founders that were once active become active again after their one year sentence/ severance runs out), launch flares 3, 4, and 5. Prepare to launch the 6th flare when 2 of the 5 class A shareholders have not invested their own money in the company (they may tell you stories about their sweat equity though. They reckon it is more pungent than sweat work from \"key players\"). Then imagine this same company having \"Key players\" who have personally invested hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money (see point 13 from Murray) and you might just want to reach for another box of flares. NOTE: Class A shareholders are founders and have always been the founders\u2026 access to the Class A group is untenable (elite Class As may even strong-arm a 'non-founder' Class A shareholder to the downgraded non-voting Class B shares. These are seen as the best fit for \"key players\"). <br><br>{3}Murray said \"Don't have a puppet board of directors\" and I'm glad she did but one should also be wary of a company where inactive founders show little willingness to part with shares. This is so true when keeping \"key players\" is important to ongoing company performance and success. Also, be wary of owners that make (or don't make) critical business decisions because of religious beliefs. If you can believe it, it does happen. <br><br>{4} YC said, \"If people want change you have to stand up and make it happen\" AGREE! It is so very unfortunate when departed members appear to have not \"stood up to make it happen\"... often monumental effort has gone on, albeit unseen. <br><br>{5} \"you can't have a CFO that buys everything he needs to build a fence at Wal-Mart and then returns those things when he is done building his fence.\" Nobody in a company should be missing an ethical/moral backbone; but especially not a company's CFO. Then to find out that same person is also the Chairman of the Board and the company's General Counsel. Was this blog's topic \"How not to run a company?\" <br><br>Lesson learned for me...

I recognize and acknowledge all the points you have made, well done.   I am sure that the above flaws alone would be enough to eventually kill any company.  However, it the case of your former company there were/are many more flaws.   Here are some more rules to live by.<br><br> <br><br>Don't underpay people just because you can.   Or, pay people what they are worth regardless of their personal situation. It isn't fair or right to underpay someone simply because you feel you can.   \"We don't need to pay them more their family is here and they can't move\" or \"their spouse has a great job\" or they \"believe in the vision\".      <br> <br><br>Know what it means to hire great people.  It's not always easy to hire great people.  Your former employer was very fortunate.  It is unfortunate that they didn't understand what it means to keep them. To keep great people you need to foster a great environment, provide great tools and treat them with great respect.   <br> <br><br> <br><br>Don't over promise and under deliver .  Owners must deliver on their promises to senior staff and execs. When promises are made by these people it is essential that they are kept.   It is especially essential when they impact the teams ability to deliver on the vision. When too many promises are left un-kept it forces behavior (development, marketing ideas etc.) that appear crazy to observers from the outside looking in, or even to others within the company. <br> <br><br>Be willing to have a smaller piece of a bigger pie .  What would you rather have? 100% owner ship of a local donut shop or 5% of Tim Hortons? N'uff said. <br> <br><br>Don't have a puppet board of directors .  A board of directors by definition is supposed to direct.  A useful and effective board of directors is a sounding board for sanity. It can't simply be two brothers and a best friend.   They can't be willing to overlook actions and indiscretions that materially affect the entire company. For instance, an effective board of directors would not allow the CEO to thwart investments and shun publicity because of a personal situation. <br> <br><br>Allow your leaders to lead.    To effectively need you need to be empowered.  You can't have responsibility without authority.    Leaders need authority and responsibility so they can make decisions for which they will be held accountable. <br> <br><br>Paint the whole picture. Or have a complete Vision.   A great company wouldn't force their leaders to only tell one half of the story. Dale to your fourth point, a clear sense of direction is especially hard to maintain if leaders are unable to share all of the pertinent information, especially if this information it is actually unknown to them or they do not believe that others will hold up their end of the bargain.   Senior management can only take things on faith so long.  Once burned twice shy. <br> <br><br>Don't lie . It's disrespectful.  People are smart \u2013 especially great people.  There a so many instances of this that it is ridiculous.   For instance, as a leader you can't say I am leaving because of a, b and c and I will do it time g when what you really mean is I will leave because of s, e and x and do it at time 0. <br> <br><br>Make sure your actions are congruent with your words .  10 years of all talk and no action tend to reduce the effectiveness of the talk.<br> <br><br>Have a moral compass.   This one is insidious.  On the face of it a company can appear moral and ethical.  People can say (or not say as in the case of swearing) all the right things.   But, you can't have a CFO that buys everything he needs to build a fence at Wal-Mart and then returns those things when he is done building his fence, or buys a DVD player for the year end party and returns it after using it for the party.   You also can't reinstall software every three months. <br> <br><br>Remove the politics . When the only way to get the right thing done is to resort to politics it is a sign that something has gone horribly wrong.<br> <br><br>Lose the corner store mentality .  This one is easy, but if you must have an example here it is; If your CEO spends days and months choosing a photo copier when he should be increasing shareholder value and promoting the company you may as well be working at a corner store. <br> <br><br>Put your money where your mouth is .  How can it be okay to sell shares to the staff by striking a valuation and promoting said valuation as \"low\" or \"an incredible deal\"   and tell staff that \"we will buy back shares from anyone who doesn't' believe\", yet now, when the company is clearly worth more refuse to by back shares at the old \"incredible deal\"?   Sorry, except it seems for the CFO who actually had shares re-purchased from the company. <br> <br><br>Treat EVERYONE with RESPECT.  You can't tell people they are \"a dime a dozen\" or that \"every time they open their mouth they get stupider\" too many times before everyone realizes that no one is respected.   And by the way \u2013 respect is a two way street.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2007-12-07_16:45:43", "killed": false, "user_key": "c9d1b9fe1321943114144cdcb6f81015", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "12/07/2007 02:45 PM", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "12478983": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Guys . . .

Here is a piece of that email. <br><br>\u201cI'd like to remind everyone of Point2's official position on media management. All communication with and through mass media that pertains to the corporate affairs of the Company is to be executed through designated staff. This includes responding to blogs directly or under a vague alias, and discussion matters with members of the media including news reporters and editor, and bloggers.\u201d<br><br>Now I can\u2019t blog or comment on blogs?

Nothing really seems to change at Point2, in fact from my point of view things seem to be going along quite well except that some of the higher level people seem upset.  We are told Barry will stay as president for an indefinite time.  There are secret meetings that my fellow workers tell me are meaningless and empty.<br><br>Then we have a mass of people leaving.  From what I can tell about the list of those that left it is only the most senior people. Those that were here the longest.  Here is the list that I know of: <br><br>Ches Hagen 11 yrs \u2013 VP of Cat/Heavy Equipment<br>Jason Collins 10 yrs - CTO<br>Brendan King 9 yrs - COO<br>John Fothergill 9 yrs \u2013 VP Product Development<br>Jon Lesvesque 9 yrs \u2013 VP Systems and IT<br>Jeff Tomlin 6 yrs \u2013 VP Business Development<br><br><br>That is 54 yrs of experience.  Wow.  Nice \u201cbump in the road\u201d.<br><br>The most senior people other than the owner Barry we have left are Greg Miller who runs our creative department \u2013 3yrs, Linda Jame who was in creative and now runs our broker program \u2013 5yrs our CFO Jason Golding \u2013 5 yrs.  There are some developers like Adnan and Chris Dagenais that have been here for like 8 and 6 yrs and many other developers that are around 5 yrs but that is it.  Everyone knows that Brendan, John, Jason Collins and Jeff started built our real estate product into what it is today.  How can Barry and Jason Golding tell us that this is a \u201cbump in the road\u201d and expect us to believe it?<br><br>That is really all the facts that we as rank and file know for sure.  There are a lot of things I can learn a lot from these blogs but I don\u2019t really know for sure.<br><br>How come the people that left are not telling us why they left?  Please speak up guys.  If we are going to stay here we really need to know.  Are our jobs safe?  Why did you leave?  Are you going to compete with us?  Do you still believe in what Point2 does?  <br><br>To Barry and the other shareholders.  Please stop trying to twist everything.  Level with us just this once.  Who quit? Why did they quit?  Why did Wendell lie about resigning for so long.  Exactly how long did you know about what he did?  Is he still being paid?  Is he coming back?  If so when and why?

I\u2019m also a current employee at Point2 and although I haven\u2019t been with the company as long, I do have a few things to say.  Thanks for your patience in advance. :)<br><br>First.  I\u2019m sorry this is anonymous.  I think we had about 7 \u2018senior\u2019 staff resign this week.  From what I heard, all gave a long period of time to help with the transition and all of which are shareholders.  A few were shown the door that day while the others I haven\u2019t seen around all week. Their status, unknown.  Does this strike you as odd?  I mean, I\u2019m told by my Manager that the first core value is to \u2018Value the team above all else\u2019.  From speaking with my peers, these people were/are great outstanding Point2 citizens!  Why the hostile treatment and mystery?  Now I don\u2019t have an MBA and I wish I could be as smart as our CFO but, at a time like this, shouldn\u2019t our exec (there\u2019s only two) be embracing the IP these people hold?  Not to mention, allowing them to speak with those that have worked with them so closely over the last decade.  Answer any questions, clear any misconceptions?  Disruptive? Maybe, but hey, that\u2019s the cost of doing business.  Instead I work in an environment that feels like a Detroit City crime scene.   Anyway, I don\u2019t want to ramble on but my point is:  If I ran a company, I\u2019d KNOW what the risks are.  People will leave right?  I\u2019m sure it\u2019s frustrating that there\u2019s no \u2018official\u2019 reason why each individual left but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not obvious, right exec people?  If I hear in one more meeting \u201cno one gave us a reason why they left and I don\u2019t know...\u201d or \u201cThis is just a small bump in the road\u201d....I think you get the point. <br><br>Personally, I find it bizarre that instead of Barry and co. working their butts off to keep \u2018The Team\u2019 together, most were shown the door and others mysteriously MIA.  Now if this company does that to people who were a far more significant part of this family then I am (not to mention owners!), I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be shown much patience and understanding for writing this post.  That should be a big, flaming red flag eh?<br><br>Second.  Like \u2018Rank and File\u2019 I get this obscure email yesterday (as above) and as I\u2019m reading it my vision starts to blur and I start to get this funny sensation that I\u2019m being part of some political cover up!  This is crazy!  I feel like someone\u2019s trying to control my every move.  Doesn\u2019t seem right, does it?<br><br>Third.  I\u2019ve been following this since Dale started his Blog.  BTW, thanks Dale!  That was very informative and sorry you felt the need to take it down.  Anyway.  Everyone keeps asking for those that resigned to provide their \u2018reason\u2019.  As if they need to!  I agree with you there Cathy.  ;)  But, for those of you following this, have you not read any of the submissions above?  Barry, have you?  I think the reasons are pretty clear!<br><br>On a final note.  I\u2019ve been doing my own leg work over the last few months.  Gathering information in the interest of making an educated decision as to my future.  Hey, before anyone lectures, I\u2019ll be the first to admit that no work place is utopia.  All have their issues, politics, challenges, trials, tribulations and what have you.  I also don\u2019t think this was a huge deal until everything, IMHO, started to be handled like a bunch of corner store amateurs (loved that metaphor, had to steal it).  Sorry, I know that\u2019s aggressive.<br><br>Ok, here\u2019s my list to add to how NOT to run a company!<br><br>1)\t If you want your CFO to be a CEO candidate make sure he doesn\u2019t have any skeletons in HIS closet.  Interoffice relationships while you\u2019re involved with someone else probably isn\u2019t\u2019 a good idea.  Unless you think this is Melrose Place keep that thing locked up bud!  We don\u2019t need any more \u201ccrazyness\u201d at the exec level.  <br>2)\tDon\u2019t be ambiguous with your corporate message.  Giving the CFO a 10% increase then announcing a spending/hiring freeze is a little confusing. <br>3)\tSTOP saying you\u2019re going to be transparent and then NOT. I think my previous point illustrates that.<br>4)\tIf you\u2019re going to boast great change surround yourself with excellence!  Take charge!  I know this looks like I\u2019m focusing on one person, but there\u2019s not many left!!!  Let\u2019s see, boy goes to school, boy starts to work at Point2, boy graduates, boy becomes legal counsel, CFO resigns, boy becomes new CFO AND legal counsel, boy starts making Mickey mouse changes like firing the plant lady to save money...and the list goes on.<br><br>Call it women\u2019s intuition but unless our new leaders make some serious changes (start by reading this blog) I think P2 is in a lot a trouble.

Here are a few of the blog posts saved for just this occasion.<br><br><br> <br>To the current and former company folks who have posted and commented, thanks for enlightening me. It is nice to get facts, not fiction.<br><br><br>A couple quotes that caught my eye from the original post and subsequent comments... {1} "Staff members were apparently upset with the way top execs were running the show" {2} "Keep Your Key Players Happy ...don\'t ever gamble with something you are not willing to lose" {3} "Don\'t have a puppet board of directors" {4} "If people want change you have to stand up and make it happen" {5} "you can\'t have a CFO that buys everything he needs to build a fence at Wal-Mart and then returns those things when he is done building his fence" <br><br>{1} "Staff members were apparently upset with the way top execs were running the show". In companies it is wise to look deeper than top execs too...the quote could read, "team members were apparently upset with the way class A shareholders were running the show" <br><br>With that in mind, quote number {2} "Keep Your Key Players Happy...don\'t ever gamble with something you are not willing to lose". That could be scriptural it\'s so true. For a moment imagine an eleven year old company with "key players" (many who have been active for nearly a decade) holding a trifling amount of company shares. It IS called gambling, and unless you\'re David "Chip" Reese I wouldn\'t mess with the odds because odds are that "key players" will walk. Some call shares \'golden handcuffs\' - kinky! (It also could be called "How TO run a company"). After more than a decade not one of the key players had more than * 1.5% of company shares (most had well under *1%. For some "key players," most, if not all, of their shares were purchased).<br><br>While I am on the subject of share assignment, here are some other thoughts on how not to run a company. When nearly *70% of a company\'s shares are held by 4 (of 5) founding Class A shareholders who are not active in the business (they don\'t hold titles/positions and they do not contribute to company value); send up a flare. When 3 of 5 founders have NEVER been active in the business and after 11 years still hold over *50% of shares, send up the second flare. When 3 founders have recently been joined on the inactive shareholder roster by another Class A founder (sometimes inactive founders that were once active become active again after their one year sentence/ severance runs out), launch flares 3, 4, and 5. Prepare to launch the 6th flare when 2 of the 5 class A shareholders have not invested their own money in the company (they may tell you stories about their sweat equity though. They reckon it is more pungent than sweat work from "key players"). Then imagine this same company having "Key players" who have personally invested hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money (see point 13 from Murray) and you might just want to reach for another box of flares. NOTE: Class A shareholders are founders and have always been the founders… access to the Class A group is untenable (elite Class As may even strong-arm a \'non-founder\' Class A shareholder to the downgraded non-voting Class B shares. These are seen as the best fit for "key players"). <br><br>{3}Murray said "Don\'t have a puppet board of directors" and I\'m glad she did but one should also be wary of a company where inactive founders show little willingness to part with shares. This is so true when keeping "key players" is important to ongoing company performance and success. Also, be wary of owners that make (or don\'t make) critical business decisions because of religious beliefs. If you can believe it, it does happen. <br><br>{4} YC said, "If people want change you have to stand up and make it happen" AGREE! It is so very unfortunate when departed members appear to have not "stood up to make it happen"... often monumental effort has gone on, albeit unseen. <br><br>{5} "you can\'t have a CFO that buys everything he needs to build a fence at Wal-Mart and then returns those things when he is done building his fence." Nobody in a company should be missing an ethical/moral backbone; but especially not a company\'s CFO. Then to find out that same person is also the Chairman of the Board and the company\'s General Counsel. Was this blog\'s topic "How not to run a company?" <br><br>Lesson learned for me... Research founders (wouldn\'t it be nice to know if they had deep dark secrets that were lurking and could creep up and …) <br><br>This isn\'t a disgruntled departed "key player," quite the contrary, I\'m still trying to decide whether to stay or go…I just happen to find this topic very insightful for the next company I work in (or start). <br><br>NOTE: *Share percentages are estimated but are believed to be very close to actual percentages.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12478982" class="dsq-comment-message">And another good one:<br><br>Great post Dale on "How not to run a company".  I recognize and acknowledge all the points you have made, well done.   I am sure that the above flaws alone would be enough to eventually kill any company.  However, it the case of your former company there were/are many more flaws.   Here are some more rules to live by.<br><br> <br><br>Don\'t underpay people just because you can.   Or, pay people what they are worth regardless of their personal situation. It isn\'t fair or right to underpay someone simply because you feel you can.   "We don\'t need to pay them more their family is here and they can\'t move" or "their spouse has a great job" or they "believe in the vision".      <br> <br><br>Know what it means to hire great people.  It\'s not always easy to hire great people.  Your former employer was very fortunate.  It is unfortunate that they didn\'t understand what it means to keep them. To keep great people you need to foster a great environment, provide great tools and treat them with great respect.   <br> <br><br> <br><br>Don\'t over promise and under deliver .  Owners must deliver on their promises to senior staff and execs. When promises are made by these people it is essential that they are kept.   It is especially essential when they impact the teams ability to deliver on the vision. When too many promises are left un-kept it forces behavior (development, marketing ideas etc.) that appear crazy to observers from the outside looking in, or even to others within the company. <br> <br><br>Be willing to have a smaller piece of a bigger pie .  What would you rather have? 100% owner ship of a local donut shop or 5% of Tim Hortons? N\'uff said. <br> <br><br>Don\'t have a puppet board of directors .  A board of directors by definition is supposed to direct.  A useful and effective board of directors is a sounding board for sanity. It can\'t simply be two brothers and a best friend.   They can\'t be willing to overlook actions and indiscretions that materially affect the entire company. For instance, an effective board of directors would not allow the CEO to thwart investments and shun publicity because of a personal situation. <br> <br><br>Allow your leaders to lead.    To effectively need you need to be empowered.  You can\'t have responsibility without authority.    Leaders need authority and responsibility so they can make decisions for which they will be held accountable. <br> <br><br>Paint the whole picture. Or have a complete Vision.   A great company wouldn\'t force their leaders to only tell one half of the story. Dale to your fourth point, a clear sense of direction is especially hard to maintain if leaders are unable to share all of the pertinent information, especially if this information it is actually unknown to them or they do not believe that others will hold up their end of the bargain.   Senior management can only take things on faith so long.  Once burned twice shy. <br> <br><br>Don\'t lie . It\'s disrespectful.  People are smart – especially great people.  There a so many instances of this that it is ridiculous.   For instance, as a leader you can\'t say I am leaving because of a, b and c and I will do it time g when what you really mean is I will leave because of s, e and x and do it at time 0. <br> <br><br>Make sure your actions are congruent with your words .  10 years of all talk and no action tend to reduce the effectiveness of the talk.<br> <br><br>Have a moral compass.   This one is insidious.  On the face of it a company can appear moral and ethical.  People can say (or not say as in the case of swearing) all the right things.   But, you can\'t have a CFO that buys everything he needs to build a fence at Wal-Mart and then returns those things when he is done building his fence, or buys a DVD player for the year end party and returns it after using it for the party.   You also can\'t reinstall software every three months. <br> <br><br>Remove the politics . When the only way to get the right thing done is to resort to politics it is a sign that something has gone horribly wrong.<br> <br><br>Lose the corner store mentality .  This one is easy, but if you must have an example here it is; If your CEO spends days and months choosing a photo copier when he should be increasing shareholder value and promoting the company you may as well be working at a corner store. <br> <br><br>Put your money where your mouth is .  How can it be okay to sell shares to the staff by striking a valuation and promoting said valuation as "low" or "an incredible deal"   and tell staff that "we will buy back shares from anyone who doesn\'t\' believe", yet now, when the company is clearly worth more refuse to by back shares at the old "incredible deal"?   Sorry, except it seems for the CFO who actually had shares re-purchased from the company. <br> <br><br>Treat EVERYONE with RESPECT.  You can\'t tell people they are "a dime a dozen" or that "every time they open their mouth they get stupider" too many times before everyone realizes that no one is respected.   And by the way – respect is a two way street.</div>\

I\'m a former employee of Point2.<br>I worked there for a short while this year and loved working with the people I got to meet there.<br><br>That being said, the management issues did seem a bit dense and that by and large created the reason why I left.<br><br>P2 seemed to be bent on asserting how little an employee was worth to them.  The notion was that pay is commensurate with achievement.  In a company like Point2, they made sure that the only people who could achieve were their usual panel of heroes.  It works out pretty good when you have a system set up where your respect for those heroes makes others pale in comparison.  You never have to give raises!<br>An impossible uphill battle of relative comparison, your dedication never goes rewarded.<br><br>Of course, my presence was commensurate with Point2\'s willingness to ensure I could afford to live and prosper in Saskatoon.<br><br>While other companies in Saskatoon are catching onto the swelling economy there, Point2 was happy to stick with their heroes and grind through whoever they could sucker into working for them.  Until of course they caught to the trick and left.<br>Another good flare warning is when a company gets in the habit of hiring people with no intention to develop and bond with them, but with the intention to string them along with as little pay as possible.<br>Thankfully I have a house now in another city and that was only after three months.  I think that\'s a very telltale fact in this situation - the employer is inextricably bound and inevitably defined by their employees.  This more social way of thinking doesn\'t come easily to many nowadays and it leads to these long time coming trainwrecks.<br><br>There are some really talented and amazing people still with Point2 today who have been there for a while...If ever they come \'round your way looking for work - GRAB THEM AND HOLD ON.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12478994" class="dsq-comment-message">I am a current employee at Point2 that probably wouldn’t be speaking up but …..  I received an “official” email this morning from an owner TELLING me that I couldn’t.  Here is a piece of that email. <br><br>“I\'d like to remind everyone of Point2\'s official position on media management. All communication with and through mass media that pertains to the corporate affairs of the Company is to be executed through designated staff. This includes responding to blogs directly or under a vague alias, and discussion matters with members of the media including news reporters and editor, and bloggers.”<br><br>Now I can’t blog or comment on blogs?  It went on to say that only Carey Tuffs, Linda Jame, Roger Noujeim or Jason Golding are able to talk or write in public places.<br><br>I guess this means that Point2 feels they can control everything I do.  I hope that this post will stay up. I am bit worried about the  Phoenix Real Estate blog since Jay uses Point2 I think they might be able to force him to remove it. <br><br>Sitting here essentially on the sidelines has been very interesting.   Watching Barry scramble around terrified and Jason Golding wide eyed with ambition this past week has been a real eye opener.  I wonder if they really believe what they are telling us?  Can this really be a “small bump in the road”.  Is it true that the people that left “don’t care about us anymore”?  <br><br>I don’t really know but in order to understand it better I started to pull it apart and look at the facts that I know.<br><br>First the CEO, Wendell Willick is hauled off to Jail.  Nothing really seems to change at Point2, in fact from my point of view things seem to be going along quite well except that some of the higher level people seem upset.  We are told Barry will stay as president for an indefinite time.  There are secret meetings that my fellow workers tell me are meaningless and empty.<br><br>Then we have a mass of people leaving.  From what I can tell about the list of those that left it is only the most senior people. Those that were here the longest.  Here is the list that I know of: <br><br>Ches Hagen 11 yrs – VP of Cat/Heavy Equipment<br>Jason Collins 10 yrs - CTO<br>Brendan King 9 yrs - COO<br>John Fothergill 9 yrs – VP Product Development<br>Jon Lesvesque 9 yrs – VP Systems and IT<br>Jeff Tomlin 6 yrs – VP Business Development<br><br><br>That is 54 yrs of experience.  Wow.  Nice “bump in the road”.<br><br>The most senior people other than the owner Barry we have left are Greg Miller who runs our creative department – 3yrs, Linda Jame who was in creative and now runs our broker program – 5yrs our CFO Jason Golding – 5 yrs.  There are some developers like Adnan and Chris Dagenais that have been here for like 8 and 6 yrs and many other developers that are around 5 yrs but that is it.  Everyone knows that Brendan, John, Jason Collins and Jeff started built our real estate product into what it is today.  How can Barry and Jason Golding tell us that this is a “bump in the road” and expect us to believe it?<br><br>That is really all the facts that we as rank and file know for sure.  There are a lot of things I can learn a lot from these blogs but I don’t really know for sure.<br><br>How come the people that left are not telling us why they left?  Please speak up guys.  If we are going to stay here we really need to know.  Are our jobs safe?  Why did you leave?  Are you going to compete with us?  Do you still believe in what Point2 does?  <br><br>To Barry and the other shareholders.  Please stop trying to twist everything.  Level with us just this once.  Who quit? Why did they quit?  Why did Wendell lie about resigning for so long.  Exactly how long did you know about what he did?  Is he still being paid?  Is he coming back?  If so when and why? Is Jason Golding our new CEO or is it going to be Barry?  Are we going to bring in a real CEO?  <br><br>When most of the people that have been here the longest have left it leaves a lot of holes and unanswered questions.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12478995" class="dsq-comment-message">Anyone who has worked in a traditional corporate world would not be surprised by anything happening here.  It happens every day in companies everywhere.  And guess what?  NewsFlash: When a CEO or other executive resigns, for whatever reason, their resignation letter is not made public! Even if they are dissatisfied with the company, they don\'t send out a press release or even talk about WHY.  That would be very bad form personally, not to mention suicidal, professionally.<br>And here\'s something else, most monetary compensation is based on achievements.  Yes, there\'s a base pay in a traditional corporate environment based on minimum standards of performance. But raises and bonuses are based on accomplishments or exceeding established performance standards. Welcome to reality!  <br>Now I have no idea what P2 pays their rank and file, nor do I know what the cost of living is in Saskatoon. But I do know, from professional experience, that many college grads over the past 20 years expect to be driving BMW\'s and buying that $500K house within 1 year of graduation.  I also have experienced the same people who believe that, after 1 year of employment (sometimes less), they are as valuable to the company as the employee who has displayed superior job performance, dedication, loyalty and value for 10, 20, 30 years. <br>While they may be good and have great potential, they still have to prove themselves.  Get over it and deal with it.<br>Here\'s another alert:  No one who resigned from P2 owes it\'s employees or customers an explanation.  Yes, we\'re curious.  But they don\'t OWE it to us. They made a personal and professional decision based on their needs and wants. They were an integral part in starting P2 and making it what it is today.  Doesn\'t mean they have to be carried out of the corporate office at age 80, feet first with a morgue tag.<br>Lastly, P2 still has many qualified individuals dedicated to the success of their customers, which translates into their own.  Something else worth notiing:  No one is indispensable and in hindsight, I have always found that "shake-ups" such as this benefit everyone.<br>Stepping down from my soapbox now......</div>\

It isn\'t the first time I have seen something like this in a growing Company and I am sure won\'t be the last. <br><br>The stock situation is interesting but not that uncommon either. Two classes of stock, voting and non voting, however I am a little surprised that there is no formal buy/sell arrangement. Not sure of Canadian rules but there certainly should be some rules on the stock situation. But I probably am not understanding the writting correctly so I will leave that alone. <br><br>It takes a very talented CEO to hold together great talent. If competition isn\'t going after them, they are looking on their own to duplicate their accomplishments if not made part of the growth and shown a level of appreciation and acknowledgement. I hope things work out for Point2 since they have something going and it is basically a mile ahead of its competition. However, with good talent out in the market, so are the ideas and plans. This could muddy the water down the road. Time will tell!</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12479000" class="dsq-comment-message">Hello.  I’m also a current employee at Point2 and although I haven’t been with the company as long, I do have a few things to say.  Thanks for your patience in advance. :)<br><br>First.  I’m sorry this is anonymous.  I think we had about 7 ‘senior’ staff resign this week.  From what I heard, all gave a long period of time to help with the transition and all of which are shareholders.  A few were shown the door that day while the others I haven’t seen around all week. Their status, unknown.  Does this strike you as odd?  I mean, I’m told by my Manager that the first core value is to ‘Value the team above all else’.  From speaking with my peers, these people were/are great outstanding Point2 citizens!  Why the hostile treatment and mystery?  Now I don’t have an MBA and I wish I could be as smart as our CFO but, at a time like this, shouldn’t our exec (there’s only two) be embracing the IP these people hold?  Not to mention, allowing them to speak with those that have worked with them so closely over the last decade.  Answer any questions, clear any misconceptions?  Disruptive? Maybe, but hey, that’s the cost of doing business.  Instead I work in an environment that feels like a Detroit City crime scene.   Anyway, I don’t want to ramble on but my point is:  If I ran a company, I’d KNOW what the risks are.  People will leave right?  I’m sure it’s frustrating that there’s no ‘official’ reason why each individual left but that doesn’t mean it’s not obvious, right exec people?  If I hear in one more meeting “no one gave us a reason why they left and I don’t know...” or “This is just a small bump in the road”....I think you get the point. <br><br>Personally, I find it bizarre that instead of Barry and co. working their butts off to keep ‘The Team’ together, most were shown the door and others mysteriously MIA.  Now if this company does that to people who were a far more significant part of this family then I am (not to mention owners!), I don’t think I’d be shown much patience and understanding for writing this post.  That should be a big, flaming red flag eh?<br><br>Second.  Like ‘Rank and File’ I get this obscure email yesterday (as above) and as I’m reading it my vision starts to blur and I start to get this funny sensation that I’m being part of some political cover up!  This is crazy!  I feel like someone’s trying to control my every move.  Doesn’t seem right, does it?<br><br>Third.  I’ve been following this since Dale started his Blog.  BTW, thanks Dale!  That was very informative and sorry you felt the need to take it down.  Anyway.  Everyone keeps asking for those that resigned to provide their ‘reason’.  As if they need to!  I agree with you there Cathy.  ;)  But, for those of you following this, have you not read any of the submissions above?  Barry, have you?  I think the reasons are pretty clear!<br><br>On a final note.  I’ve been doing my own leg work over the last few months.  Gathering information in the interest of making an educated decision as to my future.  Hey, before anyone lectures, I’ll be the first to admit that no work place is utopia.  All have their issues, politics, challenges, trials, tribulations and what have you.  I also don’t think this was a huge deal until everything, IMHO, started to be handled like a bunch of corner store amateurs (loved that metaphor, had to steal it).  Sorry, I know that’s aggressive.<br><br>Ok, here’s my list to add to how NOT to run a company!<br><br>1)	 If you want your CFO to be a CEO candidate make sure he doesn’t have any skeletons in HIS closet.  Interoffice relationships while you’re involved with someone else probably isn’t’ a good idea.  Unless you think this is Melrose Place keep that thing locked up bud!  We don’t need any more “crazyness” at the exec level.  <br>2)	Don’t be ambiguous with your corporate message.  Giving the CFO a 10% increase then announcing a spending/hiring freeze is a little confusing. <br>3)	STOP saying you’re going to be transparent and then NOT. I think my previous point illustrates that.<br>4)	If you’re going to boast great change surround yourself with excellence!  Take charge!  I know this looks like I’m focusing on one person, but there’s not many left!!!  Let’s see, boy goes to school, boy starts to work at Point2, boy graduates, boy becomes legal counsel, CFO resigns, boy becomes new CFO AND legal counsel, boy starts making Mickey mouse changes like firing the plant lady to save money...and the list goes on.<br><br>Call it women’s intuition but unless our new leaders make some serious changes (start by reading this blog) I think P2 is in a lot a trouble.  Make no mistake, this is a corporate turnaround situation if I ever saw one.</div>\

Are you listening?<br>I mentioned in a previous comment that employees must demonstrate their value and commitment to the company over a span of time and achievement.  That works both ways, you know.  Companies have to earn the loyalty and dedication of their employees by creating a work environment that inspires the loyalty, dedication, ideas and achievement.  It\'s also a pretty good idea to have a system of reward and advancement.</div>\

It is odd that Point 2 did not step up and address everything right after the first posts appeared on the web.  Even to just step up and confrim the changes and state that a statement will be issued on Monday.  As we all know, the world since the advent of Blogs and Youtube tends to run at 110%. We\'re always on. <br><br>There is always flux in business, this seems to be a major departure over a major disagreement over operations and directon. Control of destiny, money are two "themes" I have seen running through the various threads on the "exodus".<br><br>Hopefully, Roger, Linda and the rest will be able to make a strong statement on Monday. I am sure the midnight oil has been burning this weekend to formulate a solid response---not one that may have to be altered in the near term.<br><br>When I decided to jump on board the P2 bandwagon, it was not due to any of the people who left, it was the "product" and how good it was. Yes, I met some of the Point 2 people after I jumped on board, that was just "icing on the cake".<br><br>My personal thought is that P2 needs to jump into a stronger method of "growing" the network. Be that seminars, etc. like their competitors do now.  I feel that many who are already P2 users do not understand the power of the engine that has been built. IMHO.</div>\

Then visited his new blog site at <a href="http://4realz.net/" rel="nofollow">http://4realz.net/</a> and saw something that caught my eye about P2, which of course linked me to this very interesting discussion. Now about an hour later with a few interuptions during the read time....WOW!!!  All I\'m thinking about is that I\'ve got a lot of time invested in several web sites with P2 and this is the last thing I need to deal with at this time.<br><br>The funny thing is Jay...about the only safe web site I\'ve got out there, is the one that no corporation going through re-alignment can effect...My Northwest Living Blog. That is unless GoDaddy went down...NOT! <br><br>It goes with out saying...I\'m very disapointed with this news.  Iv\'e been with Point2 since about Aug of 2003 and have seen a lot of changes in the past four years. I just hope they can get through all this and our sites are not somehow effected by all this. After reading all that above...I\'m kind of at a loss of words on what to think.<br><br>I wish everyone thats still working at P2 the best of luck, you certainly have a great product, and I\'m certainly not jumping ship and running to another provider. Just keep working hard guys...sometimes thats the best thing to do. Have pride in what your doing, hold your heads up high, and keep moving forward.</div>\
