I Built This Company, I Can Save It
from the talk-about-your-egos... dept
There have been a lot of founders that have come back to take over companies they were pushed out of earlier. One of the bigger ones is Gateway. Here's the story of Ted Waitt coming back to take over the company he'd left. His own hand-picked successor wasn't getting the job done, and morale was extremely low. So, Waitt came back in, pushed out the new guys and brought back his original Gateway team. Now the question is whether or not it will actually fix the company. It's a good story, but it will be more interesting to see how everything's going a year or more from now.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
