It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business.
Look guys and gals. It is unfortunate that offices have closed. Failure is part of capitalism. Survival of the fittest. The offices that closed, simply put, were not performing. They were driving Vivint's cost per watt up. Because Vivint is a... — read more
