Well, I've been the hitman, and I've had other people do it for me. I'm not sure I'd call it cowardice, because sometimes you can get too close, and emotions get in the way of doing what's best for the team. At any rate, the woman who made the decision to terminate was the one who would've been directly responsible for the woman who was battered.
So the battered womans performance would have a direct impact on her supervisors production, so letting the supervisor make the call is actually the best decision, and him backing her decision shows his faith in her ability to manage.
You can't run a business trying to save everyone, there are other people (like yourself) for that.
Aye, look AC, the realest brothas on the board got my number...
Some of the realest women have my picture...(get at me scorp, you know which one...)
I don't fear your caricature...
You posted the damn request. You didn't have the mind to make the decision yourself, so you logged on. You didn't have the balls to do it, so you past it on. You will be what you will be.
As far as all that hip shit you on with this internet bravado...
I'm OWL, a poster who speaks his mind, who don't hide his feelings behind popular conventions, who will offer assistance even when others have given up on themselves...
...a motherfucka who don't run to the net every time his nuts are in the ringer....
I can't deny that.
Some people have a knack for commanding people and bringing order out of chaos. Some people have a knack for buying the right things and selling them just when the highest chip has been met...
But I don't think this was one of those "type" situations...
He had a serious dilemma on his hands...
So he turned to his crystal ball and began to chat into it...
It didn't say what his superiors felt he should say, be they customers or financiers, and he folded...switch hitter...
AC is cool, he'll post a picture of some of the company's money next week, "expose" some hapless poster on the other side, and we will all forget this life altering incident ever occurred...
brothas, brothas, brothas...aye, what if y'all found out OWL was really some rich cat who fucks around on the internet for fun? Now , that would be some funny shit...
According to the Rules of Professional Conduct, a lawyer can't partner up with a non-lawyer in business ventures. Are you a lawyer?
Didn't realize kindness and compassion had to take a number and wait it's turn ... oh wait ... I guess that's just me being "emotionally fragile" again right???

Soooooooooooo asking her what happened is showing kindness and compassion??? Or did that come in after you called her a "headcase"
Listen ... I just feel bad for homegirl cuz I've met plenty of women in that same situation and it just always seems that people like to kick you when you're down ... I just think losing her job on top of everything else she is going through is a tough break and I feel bad for herIf you can sleep with your decision then that's you ... I personally don't know what I would have done I just think firing her the day after she opens up to you about her home situation is FUCKED UP

EXACTLY ... but Don's not gonna give a fuck about that cuz that's on her and nobody else should care right Don???
i think i have my first e-crush...haha
nah but seriously....from what i've seen so far...u got a nice lil head on ya shoulders
to those ladies that i have chatted/spoke with about doing your own thing....
this is a perfect example of how not to react. your employees are not your "friends" they are employees/associates. you'll hurt yourself in the long run doing things with your heart instead of your head.
I agree ... now I know why he's got so many e-crushes
He tried to come to you respectfully on the low and you try and put him on blast
ACT YOUR AGE

Why not?? Nigga wanna play Geraldo in public, but won't admit when he was wrong in that same forum?? That's acting your age.

If you have the time to read back a couple of pages he did actually apologize ... a couple of times
dawg u know a few women just can't admit when they're in the wrong....![]()
Point these out to me.
What do her personal problems have to do with her work??? If she was working at an abused womans shelter or crisis centre I could understand dismissing her for not practicing what she preaches but she sells cell phones for GOD's sake ... that has nothing to do with what is going on in her life ... my problem is that people love to look down on others when they put themselves in a bad situation ... let her work it out for herself and mind your own business(not you personally but you get what I mean) ... people don't understand that their judging eyes sometimes adds to the problem and makes people wanna hide as opposed to addressing their issues ... I know it's noone's responsibility but hers but DANG a little compassion never hurt anyone
C/S that ... kicking someone when they are already down is not a good look for anybody ... not saying that is what was done here intentionally but ...
The best joke to me in this whole thread is that you came on asking for the ladies advice ... from what I read we pretty much all said to give her a chance ... but in true BGOL style the men hijack the thread talking about "forget her ... the bottom line is what's important" and then you all band together as usual and pat each other on the back ... LOLOLOLOLOL .... the BGOL Boy's Club ... SMH
Thank you ... this is what I was trying to say earlier ... you worded it alot better than I could have though ... you gotta teach me how to do that ... FOR REAL
Thank you Owl ... this is what I thought life was supposed to be about ... helping each other as opposed to putting each other into worse positions just so we could profit financially ... MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL .. I believe that with everything I have inside of me cuz it makes men turn their back on those who need them the most so that they could have enough money to buy an over priced car ... Corporate America got Black people fucked up thinking it's all about the benjamins![]()

Is this really even something to be having a 4 page debate about?

I want to apologize for getting emotional about the situation, Da Don. It was not my call to make. I do, still, think that that was cold hearted.
I would like everybody tuning in to know that I do like this poster, I do...
I don't have a problem with admitting I'm wrong, if that be the case...
AC, I'mma PM you, dawg, show you this ain't about publicity....
Come on, dawg, why you attacking her when I'm here...thread been subscribed...
basically besides co-signing with someone who was "wrong" to begin with you were speaking on things that you truly do not know about.
moreso as i've stated from the first page i didn't make the decision but i will support it due to the fact the "black woman" i promoted into that position made the call and i need to support her.
Okay
And then of course ... the PM on the low that got put on full blast
I'm feeling like the below post may have set it off ... because Da Don was having a difficult time respecting the opinion of a woman who doesn't feel the same way as him
I had a girl I used to kick it with long distance in the Greensboro/Highpoint/?? triad some 10-12 years ago. There were only so many 'rolling hills' of green grass I could take, and I'm apparently not like the rest of the dudes on here, cuz after fucking for so long, I get bored and need other types of stimulus. All of that to say, I feel your pain.
On the topic though, trying to get the female responders to this thread to understand you need to take out emotion when running a business (or a country, Hillary) just ain't gonna work. They are still agreeing with Owl, even though he was wrong.
For the record, if the woman would have been black, I would have made the same decision, because at its base, this isn't a racial issue.
Thus I contradict myself and continue the thread. lol

Not once did he admit he was wrong and misinformed.
dude get a loan and start breaking ground down here.![]()
Do your thing. I will not hate, just congratulate!
Really man, I love to see black folk prosper, good luck.
thanks but i'm talking about you....
Duh, I guess reading really is fundamental. I saw the first post about you getting a loan for SC, and just connected it with the second, without really reading it.
I've never been in food biz (other than managing Texas Toms in high school), but the Chik-Fil-A was beginning to intrigue me. Hadn't even considerd Chipolte'. I do know a couple of Micky D's franchisees. Hmmmm........
