      • I doubt a news org reporting off a press release is going to have knowledge of the inner workings of a company owned by a company owned by another company just bought by another company. Does explain why mgt has been pushing the quotas that never seemed to exist before the start of the year. You would have better info if you just asked Karen directly. And I have a feeling she knows what the rest of us do ….almost nothing.
