Joyofsixreboot Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That's the kind of gentleman (or lady) I hope my kids become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Very spunky. I hope I would be as classy. I also hope that, in that situation, I would be able to manage on my saving of ..... hundreds of millions of dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 My first thought was "I want to be classy like him." My second thought was, "It would be easy to be classy like him if I had a bazillion dollars in savings and getting fired was no biggie." :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm sure he'll get lots of job offers! I'd hire someone like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second thought was, "It would be easy to be classy like him if I had a bazillion dollars in savings and getting fired was no biggie." :laugh: True. Then again, having that much money also gives one the freedom to say what they really want and be a jack @ss. It's not like he needs a good referral.

WandaMarks Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 well that pretty much ensures people will hire him in the future. and he probably does have some savings to fall back on but its still a tough pill to swallow. good for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniBlondes Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That is really impressive. Honest, candid. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Love it. Wonder whether he can find a Groupon for his fat club ;) I love Groupon and its cousins. But my dh has felt they couldn't stay in business very long. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 "Getting canned made Andrew Mason $34 million richer in a matter of days", amusing article about how much his 7 percent of Groupon is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'd love to work for this guy in his next venture. I would, too. That's the kind of gentleman (or lady) I hope my kids become. Me, too. MiniBlondes, I love your meme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
