Re: Rogers Names a new CEO: not a cable guy!

He's talking about the workplace, it has nothing to do with the Rogers mindset of extracting the maximum revenue from customers and screwing them over at the same time.

He is also apparently big on all times of change. He is a guy that shakes things up a bit. Some people at Rogers are concerned.

That still doesn't change the mindset, the front lines might be a little more flexible when it comes to dealing the consumer (which he apparently puts a high value on) but they have no power.

You have a board of directors and shareholders who are expecting you to increase profitably each and every quarter. There is no time for long term thinking any more, that's why you see companies like Dell that are now going private ,and the talks of BB doing the same thing. It gives them the time to fix the problems outside the spotlight of the "market".

Look how the "market" reacted to Apple's iphone 5C (basically the 5 in a plastic case)and lack of contract with China Telecom, they hammered the stock.

They don't care how innovative you are, they don't care how great the product is, its "SHOW ME THE MONEY" and that's why I think Guy Laurence won't do well. There is no time for "change".

Think what would happen if Ken Engleheart left, or some of the other senior VP's at Rogers(not to say that's a bad thing), that would affect stability, and the market would react quickly by dumping Rogers stock.

I'm going on a tirade here, but there is far to much control by a batch of guys sitting on a phone buying and selling stock(metaphorically speaking) for the profit on the spread. It needs to change or we're all doomed.
