Hah!!! Ya think? The process to put a few turds in the punchbowl has already begun. There's hatchet men from Chicago out on the peninsula doing their very best to piss off the rank and file as well as management. Their goal is to make sure that no one will want to go over to the new operator and instead leave them scrambling for qualified employees.
