It’s an act of desperation—dangling a tiny carrot just to scrape together the votes they need. Investors want the MAA status, not some pointless clean C-suite build-out. That’s not even a carrot; it’s crumbs. What happened to the other plans? What happened to restarting Direct in Q1 2025? Nothing they planned has happened. And seriously... a C-suite build-out PR to win our votes? That’s the best they can do?
They’re not getting my fucking vote. It’s been almost two years with no meaningful MAA update, and they’re still too stubborn to communicate. They want to play this stubborn game and expect us to play along? Only the gullible would fall for that.
And the best part? The compensation package. They actually have the nerve to ask for that while the share price is in the gutter and the company’s finances are negative. They want us to pay them—for what, exactly? For doing nothing for shareholders?
If anything, they should be showing some empathy and aligning themselves with us: no compensation until we get this to the finish line or something.
PS: And of course someone will say that voting NO is “sabotaging my own investment.” Well, it’s an expensive lesson—but a necessary one. This is how you teach a stubborn management team to communicate properly, and how you show them that investors can push back when they’re ignored.
Do you know what they really think of investors? That we’re too scared of losing our own money, so we’ll just vote YES and go along with whatever they want.And that mindset needs to stop—right now.
