Stolen by Shaq of all people and then created a “reality show” to trash him as a racist and promote himself into greatness, lol. Yes, I watched it.

Sold out by his board first which opened the door. Going public was a bad idea - the infusion of cash mostly just paid for TV ads that ultimately resulted in shrinking market share. Never was a fan of their business model and their pies weren't good enough to compensate for that.

I'm an investor and I would never, ever take my company public in this woke corporate bullshit environment. There's better ways to get capital.

they get sold on the hype and all the big dollar signs. It is a whole operation to distract the private owners from the loss of control and the fact that they are being paid paper and they usually don't make out nearly as good as they were led to believe they would.

Very accurate. They get distracted by massive hype and promises of $$$$, once they go down that road there is no turning back and its too late for a redo

It's one way they can get a shitload of foreign money injected into their lives. After George Soros invested $45m into activision, the board paid the new CEO something like 10-20 million dollars and he had just started. Obviously a payoff for going woke with the blm shit

Soros head isn't worthy of a good Pike. He can be gassed like all the Jews he fucked over.

It's a good way to raise a ton of money at once for new projects. The disadvantage is you don't get to control who owns you afterward.

The stock market is where good companies go to die.

I'm thinking these days crowdfunding is safer for smaller companies. Have people invest in getting the product rather than a share of the profits. It's also a good way to gauge interest.

Private equity is another bane; I know one business that bought out the creator, dumped the employees and hired new. They may be making money, but it is slowly aging.

I to am an investor and think that in this climate over realization and ergonomically defiant CEO's are to blame for the construct of the demoralization of pepperoni pizza.

I believe the Chic-Fil-A CEO made a promise to his dad to never take the company public.

Wait, I stopped buying papa johns because of that incident.... did I get fooled?

thelastlast 20 points ago +20 / -0

not really, because its not his company anymore so fuckem.

but yes if you believed the racism thing (I did at the time) it was YET ANOTHER hoax. they were trying to set him up and finally after a long phone call they got him to say nigger as an example of what not to say.

there's a whole shakespearean thing going with the takeover of Papa Johns, its fascinating.

I don’t quite understand why so many companies and CEO’s bow down to the digital mob. Trump has proven their attention span is so short that if they just ignore so called boycotts and cancel culture then it pretty much goes away.

Yeah,they did that guy dirty and he was the frigging founder of the company

If we just fucking destroy Soros and all who support him this will basically end. Find out which billionaires are supporting these terrorists and arrest them. There is only one chance to do this and the time is now.

Arrest? So they can spend the last decade of their life tying up the courts with lawyer bullshit just waiting to go before SCOTUS so Roberts can overturn everything?

It's crazy he said the n word in reference to his younger years calling out actual racists. Cancel culture is a disease.

"I mean can you imagine if we had somebody in the White House that was making decisions right now on politics instead of what's right for Americans, what's right for America? I mean it'd be pretty scary. I think he makes the right decision for the right reasons."

Yup I've already imagined it. We've went through that already with Obama, Bush and Clinton and they didn't work out.

Private company = Goya

Public company = Papa Johns

A lesson to anyone making something successful, keep it private.

They shouldn't be scared. Come out in support of Trump and your brand will sell like hotcakes. Goya for example.

CEOS are mostly a bunch of ivy league pvssies who can't think their way out of the echo chamber surrounding them. And they definitely wouldn't want to be excluded from the next cocktail party.

He should have made different choices earlier on in his business. He lost control of his company long before he lost his job. He should have stayed self employed or just sold the company.
