[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 4467693, member: 11234"] He's more dynamic in person. And I'm no big shot, but I have been here for 30+ years and he was my division manager once. The CNBC interviews are what they taught him in executive charm school - he's looks to me like he's trying to be as non-controversial as possible. I agree he could be better. Every sentence starts with "Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to..." He did make the decision (or at least approve it) to put a sizable amount into the non-union pension when shareholders had bid up the stock to $130 figuring they'd get a huge dividend increase after Trump's tax cut. That didn't happen. Extra buybacks didn't happen with that money either. I'm sure when he had to fly to Boston to meet with State St banks after that, those a-hole vampires asked him whether he was in the package business or the pension business. Selfishly, I appreciated the guts to make that decision. He is absolutely driving the company to bring more women into management - I've heard over and over this is his idea, and you even see it in his choice of successor. There are studies that say a more equal balance between male and female decision-makers improves the bottom line. We'll see. Those are the kinds of decisions we're paying for. People think that job is just watching those metal balls click back and forth on the desk but make bad decisions and the company goes out of business. [/QUOTE]
