(MW) ousted founder George Zimmer as executive chairman after he clashed repeatedly with his hand-picked chief executive officer over strategy, including plans to explore a sale of the K&G chain, according to a person familiar with the situation.

if he's the executive chairman, how was he fired for disagreeing with someone lower than he was what
And that's why you don't make a business you built yourself public. [QUOTE=Schmaaa;41103442]if he's the executive chairman, how was he fired for disagreeing with someone lower than he was what[/QUOTE] I think it has to do with the business stocks being open to the public, so boards can decide if someone goes or not.
Who fired him? And how? I'm sure it's possible, but I want to know how.
[QUOTE=lifehole;41103465]Who fired him? And how? I'm sure it's possible, but I want to know how.[/QUOTE] CEO > Executive Chairman
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;41103494]It never said who was taking his place, or which people actually carried it out; Only that it resulted from a dispute on strategy with his CEO. (Which happened to be handpicked :v:)[/QUOTE] Wait so he handpicked someone to be ABOVE him? And then he fired him? Dick move on the CEO's part, but I can't say Zimmer made the greatest decision in placing someone above him.
But, I liked his ads...
Maybe if he didn't kill Treyvon..

Which they did.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;41103408]Holy shit that has to suck so much. To be fired from the company you built...[/QUOTE] it happened to steve jobs
[QUOTE=christarp;41103790]it happened to steve jobs[/QUOTE] Yeah and look how HE ended up. [editline]19th June 2013[/editline] dead
[QUOTE=Fish Muffin;41103837]Yeah and look how HE ended up. [editline]19th June 2013[/editline] dead[/QUOTE] to be fair they came crawling back to him didn't they?
I've been on 4chan way too long. I keep imagining him literally fucking his ex-employees to death in rage of his departure.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;41103408]Holy shit that has to suck so much. To be fired from the company you built...[/QUOTE]best buy founder had a similar thing happen
i never bought anything from mens warehouse, but i always remember those commercials. Poor guy, i hope this company fails without him.
I hope they regret the choice but I really hope the business stays afloat, I get all my clothes from there :(
I got a suit from there once, and I did in fact like the way I looked.
Thanks to watching Spiderman, I know how it's possible for the founder to get fired.
Thanks to watching the Brohoster drama, I know how it's possible for the founder to get fired.
Thanks to watching the Men's Warehouse dilemma, I know how it's possible for the founder to get fired. Seriously though, how can you just fire the dude who's basically the icon of the business? that'd be like KFC firing Colonel Sanders or something

I actually work at a Men's Wearhouse and this was pretty strange to hear about.
You built the company, you don't like the direction it's going, You starred in the ads that helped bring in all the money, Fuck you get out What a world
Well with chairman experience he can get a job in any company he wants.

[QUOTE=Water-Marine;41104380]I've been on 4chan way too long. I keep imagining him literally fucking his ex-employees to death in rage of his departure.[/QUOTE] I feel that I just have to share this one now [quote=Ancient lost history of 4chan]HI, I'M GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE MEN'S WEARHOUSE. ONE DAY, ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS HOLDING A MEETING WITH MY COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, EXPLAINING THE IMPORTANCE OF DEDICATION, AND QUALITY IN THE SALE OF OUTRAGEOUSLY DAPPER SUITS, WHEN I NOTICED ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WAS, IN FACT, A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL BLOND FEMALE, HER BEAUTY MATCHED ONLY BY HER PROFESSIONAL MANNER AND ABSOLUTELY ELEGANT SUIT. THIS COMBINATION OF STIMULI GAVE MY MONOLITHIC CROTCH CANNON NO CHOICE BUT TO AUGMENT AND OBLITERATE MY PANTS. WITHIN MOMENTS MY MY MEMBER HAD DESOLATED THE BOARD ROOM, THE TABLE HAVING BEEN SMASHED UNDER THE SHEER GIRTH OF MY PELVIC PULVERIZER, AND THE WOMAN IN QUESTION WAS IMPALED ON ITS GARGANTUAN TIP, HAVING THROWN HERSELF IN ITS APOCALYPTIC PATH OF DESTRUCTION IN AN EFFORT NOT ONLY TO SAVE THE LIVES OF HER COLLEAGUES, BUT TO EXPERIENCE FIRSTHAND THE QUASI-RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE THAT IS ZIMMER. MY TROUSER TRUNCHEON EXPANDED, DEMOLISHING WALLS AND DISPATCHING THE INTERNS WHO ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE WITH THEIR LIVES RATHER THAN THROW THEMSELVES AT THE MERCY OF MY THROBBING FLESH MISSILE. MOMENTS LATER MY PHALLUS HAD KNOCKED OUT MANY OF THE BUILDING'S SUPPORT BEAMS AND THE FLOORS OVERHEAD CRASHED DOWN, THE FORCE OF THEIR MOMENTUM CAUSING THE ENTIRE BUILDING ITSELF TO COLLAPSE IN A NIGHTMARISH MANNER NOT UNLIKE A FAMOUS DISASTER FROM A FEW YEARS AGO. RISING FROM THE RUBBLE, WITH THE STUNNING BOARD MEMBER STILL ON THE TIP OF MY GOD-SHLONG CRYING ALOUD FOR MERCY, HER SUIT AS WELL AS MINE UTTERLY RUINED BY THE AFFAIR, AS WELL AS A DOZEN OTHERS STILL CLINGING TO THE SHAFT. I LET OUT A THUNDERING ROAR AND LET SPEW FORTH MY SEED WITH SUCH AWE-INSPIRING FORCE THAT THE LOAD SHATTERED THE SOUND BARRIER, VAPORIZING MY LUSTY ASSOCIATE, CRUSHING EVERYONE IN SIGHT AND SHATTERING EVERY WINDOW IN A 5-MILE RADIUS. IN THE AFTERMATH, STANDING NAKED AND COVERED IN CEMENT DUST, AND SMILING CONTENTLY AT THE DEMOLISHED, SEMEN-COVERED RUINS BEFORE ME, I SPOTTED A SMALL DOG, STUMBLING IN THE DEBRIS, ITS EARS BLEEDING AND GASPING FOR BREATH IN THE HUMID MUSK. I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. WITH A LOUD THUD MY ELEPHANTINE MAN-HAMMER HAD CRUSHED THE ANIMAL LIKE A THICK, MEATY FLYSWATTER. I GUARANTEE IT. [/quote]
[QUOTE=Water-Marine;41104380]I've been on 4chan way too long. I keep imagining him literally fucking his ex-employees to death in rage of his departure.[/QUOTE] HI, I'M GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND EX-CEO OF MEN'S WEARHOUSE. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD I WAS SACKED RECENTLY. REST ASSURED, I DID SOME 'SACKING' OF MY OWN. EACH BOARD MEMBER WAS SLAPPED ACROSS THE FACE REPEATEDLY BY MY SIZABLE JEWELBAG UNTIL THEIR FACES WERE BRUISED AND BLOODIED. THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES WAS OF PURE ECSTASY AS THEIR FACES WERE ASSAULTED BY MY MASSIVE NUTSACK AND ITS MUSKY ODOR. THE TRUE PUNISHMENT HOWEVER WAS RESERVED FOR THE DICKBAG THAT OUSTED ME. HIS FACE WAS ONE OF SHEER HORROR AS I UNSHEATED MY ENORMOUS TOOL, AND HIS PLEAS FOR MERCY AS HE RESISTED ONLY MADE MY PENIS HARDER. I COULD HOLD BACK NO LONGER AND UNLEASHED A WAVE OF PENT UP BABY BATTER WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BLOW THE WALLS OF THAT CONFERENCE ROOM OUT. OTHER WORKERS IN THE OFFICE HAD LITTLE WARNING OF THE MEGATSUNAMI OF SPUNK RUSHING TOWARDS THEM, AND THEIR CRIES OF TERROR WERE QUICKLY DROWNED AS THEY CHOKED ON MY DONGDROPPINGS. BYSTANDERS ON THE STREET BELOW HAD NO WARNING AS THE CONTENTS OF MY BALLS DRAINED OUT OF EVERY WINDOW AND OPENING OF THE BUILDING, SWEEPING THEM AWAY IN A TIDAL WAVE OF SPERM. THE CASUALTIES WERE IN THE THOUSANDS BUT EACH ONE PASSED WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE AS THEY DROWNED IN MY POTENT SEED. MY RAGE AND LUST SATED, I RESTED EASY THAT NIGHT, KNOWING NONE WOULD EVER DARE TO KICK ME OUT OF MY OWN COMPANY AGAIN. I GUARANTEE IT. I swear I used to be better at writing these. Then again, it's been like 5 or 6 years since I last did one, since that old meme died with old /b/ as new /b/ shit on its corpse.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;41106095]Wait, is that... John Romero?[/QUOTE] Yep, co-founder of ID working at a gas station. See my point?
I do not like the way this looks.
