I don’t understand why they would hire someone at 750K when they have someone who has been doing this job for a while as well as his job and is good at it. Yet they can’t afford to pay severance to the employees they terminated.

So they lay off hundreds. Close a ton of stores. Liquidate the entire Harmon concept. Can't pay their tremendous debt. But hire a VP of stores?
They are woke. They don’t care about anything but themselves. BBB is done.
