Eric will never hire the right people, he is an ego-maniac and believes he knows what is best...despite his repeated history of failure at nearly every opportunity. He had a great team in the beginning, in fact, they are responsible for 90% of the avenues WNBD sits in now, had nothing to do with Eric.
Eric made sure to make the worst possible decisions and drove the sales team away. Eric is basically a car salesman, nothing more. He fancies himself some corporate bigwig, the reality is that he is way out of his league, he should be teaching a creative writing class.
But hey, it's not my money, flip away if you can time it.
