Skipped straight to Q&A. Happy that our questioned was really asked. Few thoughts:
Charlie knows this is a bad place to work. He kept reiterating that the goal is to make this place a great place to work. Every person within my network here has said the same thing. It’s. Hard. To. Hire. People. The word is getting out wells is bad so not only are people leaving but the name is also getting tarnished.
In response to our question, chuckles said yeah we can give a raise or one time bonus but it’ll come out of your benefits, 401k match or insurance. Hilarious guy.
The pressure seems to be ramping up. The sense of urgency in his voice is there. The coherent plan? Still a little missing but it’s apparent Charlie knows he has something to prove.
