Tivus still 'OPEN'.
Well, when things get beyond a reasonable point, it becomes reasonable to do certain things. I have sent, as many of us have, an email to Tivus, but as usual, no reply is made. So, I thought it is not beyond reasonable to call the phone number from the website to reassure myself it is still functioning.
The receptionist answered,"Tivus."
I asked her if Tivus was still open. She sounded very surprised and answered, "Yes."
I the asked if it was closing.
She said she had not heard anything to that effect and offered to forward me to voicemail, which I declined.
I had no ulterior motive for doing this. I simply wished to reassure myself that a company called Tivus functions at least on this one tiny level. It does.
The silence of the CEO is, at least to me, completely inexplicable. What is it that he thinks he is doing to benefit his company by behaving in this manner? The damage accruing on a daily basis will take far more time and energy to rectify than he indicated he has time for.
On this board, I used to defend SP's silence as a possible business strategy and though that may still be part of the rationale, I no longer think it is so.
I plan to spend some serious time with those who, like me, feel that despite all the negative, Tivus can still become viable again. I realize there is a good chance we have arrived at the moment of the Hail Mary pass. I pray that those in whom SP confides can convince him to do anything to get him past what appears to be a robust denial of the true state of things.
Is there a matter of pride or of honor I am missing or overlooking? Is there, possibly, some cultural convention I am not aware of which accounts for shutting out even the people who support you despite logic telling them to do otherwise? Is Ashton Kutcher going to suddenly jump from behind the Tivus banner yelling, "Punked!"
I wonder.
I really, really wonder. What other losses will I be expected to endure this week?
