About 2 years ago Barolworld (South Africa) gave a directive to Barloworld - Lift Trucks in the USA (or SE region) they must achieve a minimum of 20% ROA or ROI (can't recall which) and gave them two years to do so or.............. I have friends in low places and they shared with me the document.
They brought in new managment in the Atlanta area (most of which came from the land of the Queen) or at least had teh acccent of the same). Sure enough many folks bailed out - sales adminstrative, etc. My neighbor who worked for them over 10 years was one to do so & she liked her job until the management change.

Business ain't too good in Atlanta area, the 2 year edict is up. You can take it from there.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
