"AMD was yesterday. Let's start with logic. All the major cities will be safe. The major cities/states with multiple BDMs will go to one/two (NY has 8 & CA has 6). Based on my territory analysis we need only 42 BDMs. Good Luck BDMs.

Above from another thread (analysis according to Ed). Based on this, nearly half of the BDMS will ultimately be let go. Just too much expense for what we're offering the test for, what the test will "fetch", given new players. And with the top people in the company making what they're making, not to mention all the other managers, it's absurd that anyone thought our ability to make money could overtake our burn amount and rate.
The company is top heavy. The co is not run efficiently and lean like some of our competitors. Some decisions have appeared wishy-washy to the outside, disjointed, uncertain (billing). It's not a tightly run ship. There is not a spirit of cooperation within, pulling together to accomplish a vision, all being on the same team. There is a spirit of ego and pride coming from some of the management. There are a lot of closed door meetings; but effective, innovative, visionary changes do not follow, or if so, not as quickly as our competitors. Competitors are eager, hungry, Johnny-on-the-spot. We are slow, "I'm entitled", Johnny-come-lately. Communication is subpar. Unfortunately for many of us, the management leopards won't change their spots. It might be time to look to your own future, elsewhere, as I am.
