Hey Radio~ Touché! Well Said & Point (s) Taken! I sincerely appreciate your observations, comments and suggestions. Thank You... (really)
And Thank You for taking the time from your day to share (and care). Living and Learning as I go...

Hey Radio~ "Scoundrels" or not, I was raised/taught two wrongs don't make a right... So I will continue to live my life doing what (in my opinion)is right... Can't make apologies for that...
For the life of me, I do not understand why people think I haven't moved on/let him go??? We have not been "a couple" for WELL OVER a year, believe it or not but... I HAVE (personally) moved on. And couldn't be happier, my (personal) life is SsOOOOoooo much EASIER now... The business is the ONLY reason we are still connected. Unfortunately, I do still love West End AND all of her potential, so yes I know what an excellent "HUGE" opportunity it is, hence the "fight to my death" trying to save her, and my eventual "fall on to my sword" (signing the paper).
So now I'm confused on your comments? Should I "MOVE ON ALREADY" or not "blow it?" Seems to me, I'm damned if I do, and I'm damned if I don't...

Rebecca - Yes. My question is, why not fire him. And yes, I see that you stuck it out because that simply wouldn't be right, but you're past that now. This is (of course) just my opinion, but you can't do the nice thing all the time when you're dealing with scoundrels. I am not suggesting you screw the guy out of his investment, by the way. What I am suggesting is that you get him out of the day-to-day operations of the business and get on with making MONEY! Then you send him his profits every quarter and that's it. I don't mean to be provocative here, but is there a reason you won't let HIM go? Don't answer me on that, it's none of my business, but for your own peace of mind and quality of life, ask and answer that question and then for God's sake MOVE ON ALREADY! Whatever that looks like has to be better than where you are now.
As for the sales call, I think everyone understands you were caught off guard. We empathize, but the truth is the truth. It's not your strong suit. So what!? Nobody is perfect and there are plenty of things you do that others can't. So, as I said just take that criticism for what it is and either prove it wrong or accept it. It's no big deal.
You have a HUGE opportunity with that business. I envy you that, but don't blow it. If you have ANY legal means to protect yourself from abuse in the workplace, just use it and share the profits. Think about it. I personally would call a lawyer and get that done before John sinks the ship with both of you in it.
Be well!

Nope, didn't tell me... Read it on the internet . When I asked him why he did that ~ only reply I got was "the stink eye" and a face full of grimace.

I am sorry but I'm not really sure what your ONE HUGE QUESTION was??? Why I didn't "FIRE HIS ASS?" Because he had the majority financial investment, it wouldn't have been right. Never even considered it. And I don't think it's right that he's okay with 'firing" me. But....that's just me...
At the time of contacting the show, I simply wanted to neutralize that option for either of us and get back to the business of roasting coffee... As far as your comments about me personally... 1. unfortunately, John didn't explain it quite right... but neither here nor there... he said what he said and they aired what he said so it is what it is at this point. 2. I'll accept that... Only response I can say, is when you have a tv camera following you around, then I'd ask you to tell me how "natural" you feel, and I have NEVER been on a sales call. We have a Sales Manager who does that ~ But admittedly, I was a fish outta water fer sure... 3. In my opinion, that's not true, and I will leave it at that. Thank You, I accept your compliment on my son Bryan. I agree. However, I can only take partial credit, both of my parents should receive the lion's share of credit~ they were Wonderful people (both educators) and I really miss them now more than ever...

It's really pretty simple. JOHN CONTROLS the website and he either removed it during the show or immediately after. It really doesn't matter at this point, as I am a woman of my word and John has his signed paper and his 82% control which is enough to "fire" me, which he has. It's basically in the hands of our attorneys at this point. It's a sad situation if you ask me...

what do you want to know?

Attica- it's the latter...
Cranky- Still @ West End (but...TBD)

1. West End HAS a sales manager.
2. Threat(s) of firing was the ONLY reason the paper hadn't been signed previously...
-
For the record. I have NEVER (well once-Larkins) been on a sales call. It's not what I do, and I have zero experience in sales. And obviously, if I knew before hand I would have dressed much more appropriately. You don't think I wasn't embarrassed to go dressed like that? Really???

S02.E13: West End Coffee Company
in The Profit
GlowLights~ My hope for resolution~ At this point, I just want to close this chapter, sharpen my pencil and prepare for the next chapter of what is my life.... And no, I can't really say I'm "Happy" to sell my shares and walk away, I still love WEnd~ it's a Great Company and Great Product, but I guess it's just not what I am supposed to be doing... ??? I do believe everything happens for a reason... and when one door closes another opens... and that is exciting!
