Yes that was my comment. I am not even close to the movers and shakers, but I never saw that coming. I wonder if Mr Johnson did?

It always worries me when a board meets in secret on a Sunday and then fires the number one employee without notice. That tells me that there is a lot more going on than we probably will ever hear about.

I hope it is just that the board saw need for a change rather than something serious.

In the time I’ve been living here, just over 20 years, I’ve seen Marian and Ed as CSD Managers. I’ve Seen Earl, John, Greg, Kathy, and Dave as RMA managers, but I can’t even begin to list the RMCC managers.

I don’t know what it is, but it sure seems like there’s something goin’ on over there that eats GMs for breakfast. Of course mebbe I’m wrong and they’ve only had a couple and it just seems like there’s been a lot.

No I don't think your wrong Jack....I ,too, have seen many managers get the "boot" at the CC....I can't remember who all they were, to many to count!!!!!

I can’t imagine that with the list of the folks that have been there, there wasn’t at least one or two who weren’t shall we say playing fast and loose with the company funds, but I find it hard to believe that every one of them has sucked! To me, that means there’s been some other dynamic going on that’s played a big part in the constant turnover of managerial people there.

If I had to guess, I’d say that it was probably a lot more critical to the club to try to do everything on the cheap than it is to any of the HOAs or even the CSD. The reason is, the club has to make a profit, while all the others only have to break even, and with CSD being the government, they don’t even have to do that.

Like I said, I don’t know what it is, but there sure seems to be something goin’ on, doesn’t there. Perhaps its finally come the time for the club to consider cutting back just a smidge on its exclusivity, and realizing that there’s a market out here readily available, just for the asking.

Whatever though, I wish them the best of luck.

GMs frequently are the "bearers of bad tidings" (e.g. if you want more goods and services we need more revenue), and we know how that role often works out....

No, I don't know why, but would urge caution about whatever rumors and speculations will likely fly. Those who truly know probably can't say. It is the nature of such things.
