They refused help, the quality dropped below acceptable standard, and I took my $3.5M business elsewhere. That "we know best" attitude just doesn't cut it in the highly regulated iF business - if it doesn't meet specifications, it can't be sold, end of story
If they treated ATM as poorly, and I suspect they did (but ATM has no manufacturing experience so didn't realise the full extent), it is little wonder they are looking to shake things up
What I don't understand, is why the directors allowed this to happen. Were they fed misinformation, or are they just incompetent (or worse)
