What exactly happened to DD? Word around the water cooler was that he got caught misappropriating some $ and too many mistakes? Not surprising but is it true or was he a fall guy?
He was no fall guy! He was a total pr**k. Always throwing around his previous automotive industry experience. As the story goes, DD was coming up short and could not get things to balance. Let's just say he moved $ from one place to the other to make things balance. He did this at the detriment of certain groups and individuals. If all was told, there is one group where many, many had their paychecks routinely affected. Some didn't even notice it.
Dean was not the fall guy. He created his own demise by inaccurately recording commissions and bonuses of this in the field to offset irregular accounting findings. He was a strong proponent and very close to getting approval to put all sales people on straight salary. There are so many irregularities that the internal commissions group has been told not to answer or provide commentary to field sales.
