@samshirazim And yes, I was waiting for you to comment on Chesapeake even if now I live in the new Lobster district (are we going lobster or scorpion?)
@samshirazim Chesapeake being consistently only a couple points redder than the state in every election continues to be my favorite plotline (although I'm biased).

When I became the Chief Marketing Officer at Levi's, at about 2 months in, I had some mid-level know it all come into my office to tell me everyone hated me, I was steering the ship into oblivion. She told me everyone knew I was doing a terrible job. (The brand had been in decline for over 10 years.)
What I had done in my first two months:
1) Say no one could go on trips anymore unless they had a role at the photo shoot or event. No more boondoggles.
2) No drinking at events or concerts we were hosting. We were there to work, not party.
2) Say Marketing needed to feature actual product in the ads.
3) Say we needed to move away from dark and moody and into the realm of fun - because people have fun in jeans.
Awful, right?!
She wanted me to know, she said, she was trying to help. (She put her feet on my desk while saying this.)
Needless to say, this was not a person who was very good at her job. And I wasn't doing mine to be liked so I didn't care if "everybody hated me". I was trying to turn a business around that had been flailing. I took the responsibility seriously.
Six years later, we had a very successful IPO.
2 years after that I became the brand president.
These people complaining about new leadership are lame. They always do it. They want it how it was, even if how it was wasn't working. And it's even lamer that @Variety writes about this like it's news.
Keep going @bariweiss.
