Breadmaster posted:I'm not well versed in the history of For Better or Worse, is there something I'm missing? “Lynn: Rod and the company’s executive director had convinced my staff that I was senile, unstable, and not interested in knowing what was going on within the business. Because of the tension, people picked at each other and treated me as though I would explode at any time. With deadlines continually nagging at me, all I could do was put my head down and get the strip done. Eventually, we discovered the source of the unease: my husband had been having an affair with the executive director, the woman he hired to run my business. It was a shock. When it was out, the affair was over. So was the marriage. Me: Now Lynn says Rod hired the executive director, but on page 132, Lynn says she hired her. Lynn always has continuity issues and it would have been nice if Katie had cleaned this sort of thing up. Bad Katie. Also a major divergence is the line “we discovered”, which implies the staff was the “we.” In the many prior versions of this story Lynn had told to newspapers and magazines, Rod broke the news to Lynn that he had been having a long time affair. Here is the version from the 2008 Peterborough Examiner story: If Lynn can't remember the details of the day she'll never forget, she knows this much is true: around eight o'clock in the evening her husband of 30 years walked into the kitchen and broke her heart. I'm leaving you, he told her. I've been seeing another woman for some time. You know her. It may not have come out in precisely those words or in that exact order, but the message was clear. He was going and that was that; he would make no amends for his betrayal. Anonymous writers to my Howard Bunt Blog agree with Lynn’s assessment that Rod’s relationship with executive director Nancy Vincent was over shortly after he announced it to Lynn. My sources say Nancy filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination against Lynn, which implies to me that she played the “He’s lying. We never had an affair” card. Nancy was also married and it is not unreasonable to expect she was trying to preserve her marriage. I don’t know how it ended with Nancy or the lawsuit. What I do know is Lynn and Rod’s marriage was over and once again Entercom had one boss.”

So mom is interrogating the one boy about the victory garden, her question about farmers plowing fields in the fall implies that she wonders if the victory garden needs to be hoed and spaded up for the fall. That's extra work, so her son is shoving a broom handle under the rug to tap his friend's foot and get him to say "no, that's not needed". Mom blocks the line of communication (broomstick) with a cleverly placed foot.

Gnoman posted:This attitude towards labor was a fatal flaw for IH. In the 70s the CEO awarded himself large bonuses while demanding huge concessions in contract negotiations. The resulting strike was so expensive that the place went belly-uo a few years later. "The company's downward financial spiral continued. For fiscal year 1980, 1981, and 1982, International Harvester incurred a combined three-year loss of $2.4 billion—the largest such three-year loss for any American company in history at the time.[33] International Harvester sold its farm equipment division to Tenneco in 1985, and changed its name in 1986 to Navistar International.[6] Speaking to a group at Harvard Business School six months after leaving Harvester, McCardell was asked his assessment of his performance; he said that despite some regrets, "I think I rate myself superb."[6] In 1986, McCardell told UPI, "I feel very good about my years at Harvester. We had a few good years. I don’t think we made any one major mistake. In retrospect, I think we could have done some things differently. None of us was smart enough – myself included – to realize the depth of the problem."[34] Discussing his remuneration, he said he thought, in retrospect, that he was "underpaid".[34] "
