You're probably right there, MS. I found it difficult to chew that they still made the comments after he left.

If in my profession, the average career span was about 10-15 years. And a shit manager stifled my game/progress for 3 of those years, I wouldn't be thanking him whether he picked me or not.
Unless, I simply didn't care.. which I don't think most of the released group did.

I'm not in any way saying openly dissenting against management is appropriate. I feel a manager that isn't open to change or listening to his players is just as bad as having a squad of journeymen. Forcing square pegs in round holes for example, yet none of the pegs got bent out of shape pointing out they would be more effective in their natural hole...

Lotsa holes!
