Herb just jumped ship (6/2010). So did his underling. After all the shakeups, guys in the field are all wondering 'Who's Running the Store' back in Davidson. All the middle management went back to 'safe' air centers in advance of the departure. With Centac off in Mocksville, how long will it be before IR is no longer an Air Compressor Company? Keep it up guys, those 90 Day Bonuses are all you need to worry about. Sad. I hear the Chinese are in the market, and there's already a Shanghai Operation

Well, having left Atlas and ending up at IR, then being laid off in the MBA shuffle as the whiz kids look to maximize their synergies to leverage their bonus checks and golden parachutes I think I'm better off gone as well. Soul-less MBA "More Bullshit Accounting"!

Read the paradoxical "Cradle to Grave" out of Houghton Press to see that Atlas probably was what gave rise to IR in the first place...

As a former slave to Mother Ingersoll now loving life at Atlas I think this is fucking hilarious! I was there (air division) when it all went down. It really was my first clue I needed to get out. Thank god Almighty I'm out of old I.R.!! CLASSIC!!!!

Wow. The truth hurts, but it's so much better when set to a tune you can drink to.

Eau contraire, reshelman98. I hear strains of Dylan mixed with Muddy Waters. A true American Original on the cusp of breaking out big time.
