"Eric only wants to share what sounds good." Again, he did not share a lot about the whole new division itself, why should he share the bad before the good? How does that make any sense? He has so much PR potential for good reputation, but he should share the bankruptcy first when nothing else was shares in the first place, what kind of logic is that.
I guess Eric's no longer concerned about the so-called "errant phone calls, e-mails and confusing communications at cross-purposes"...whatever cross-purposes means.
