Did we lose someone?

[trigggl]

I cannot say I am surprised, but I am deeply unhappy about this. Enough so that I probably should not have read this thread on vacation, because now I'm going to be bummed out.
I had many PMs with him. A good man, and solid in his principles...but, on so many levels, this team is drifting away from his ideal.
I will let him speak for himself if he ever feels the need to do so. I tried in vain over the last month or so to see if there was anything I could do personally to help him stay. There was nothing...

There were several issues, but I believe the largest is / was the fact that so few care about being #1 overall here. I have to say I could agree with him a little there...we are now at position #3. That may have been the final straw for him, I don't know.

So he believes that he's going to achieve No.1 all on his own? If he wants to be No.1, maybe he should join the French team, if that's the thing most important to him.

I would think the team would do better with more members in regards to achieving No.1 overall whether that's their goal or not. Do we only want to accept new members if they can be assimilated to that goal? If not, then I guess we don't want new members. If that's not the case then we're going to have a lot of members who don't think it's the most important thing. You can't have it both ways. If you only want members that are devoted to being No.1 at all cost, maybe it should be displayed somewhere on the invitation to join the team.

Do you want more team members or do you want only team members devoted to No.1?

Maybe the motto should be changed to "Together we can accomplish Number 1".

Let's tell the truth. Who do you want to join the team?


PS. Is the motto even displayed anywhere on the board?

Dude! I just looked to see who it was. That is a huge loss. I'm not surprised either, though.
