Aren't CEOs hired by the Board of Directors?

So how and did HDs BoD choose this guy to protect and grow their investment?

I learned long ago that the human hunger for meaning (and absolution) is so profound that it will drive every man to accept a religion.

Wokeness is one of those religions...and, as Jordan Peterson has said, so is Marxism (which is much, much older than Marx).

The Hells Angels need to have a “little talk” with HD management that will wake them up, and fast.

The Harley riding members of my bike club are not happy campers. They are predicting the final bankruptcy of HD. I just bought a Can Am Sypder. I am very happy with it.

My former company was bought by a German one.

A mediocre organization became a very poorly managed business.

Morale killers.

Their quisling UK titans of management were only too glad to help.

Forget German, try working for the Swiss.

they made great products but are horribly managed. The Swiss masters absolutely hated us American cowboys, even though in 15 years we grew the business from $2million to almost half a billion.

A friend with a full kit Indian and leathers (a serious “Harley rider”, if you will) tells me that he’s seeing Harley guys debadging their rides, it is so bad.

When sales fall and stocks tumble and bikers switch to other companies the Nazi will fall also. How he didn’t learn from Budweiser’s mistake, and other companies is just about as stupid as it gets. Why these people don’t stay out of politics and woke horsecrap is amazing. Make a good product and keep your beliefs to yourself!

“...to contribute positively to a very divisive society.”

When will these people understand that THEY are causing the division in this society?!

One of the worst transgressions in the eyes of those euros was daring to ask about forbidden ideas like advancement, tech training or being reimbursed, or certifications in anything.

Existing ones I had might as well have been blank pieces of paper.

The feudal system is alive and well.

I don’t miss them or walking out.

Where did they dig up this monster?
Sounds like he knowns nothing about motorcycles and for sure knows nothing about HD.

“he’s seeing Harley guys debadging their rides,”

Yesterday or Friday someone posted that they were headed to the PA Trump Rally. He was in the process of removing the HD logo (badge?) from his motorcycle. Maybe it’ll be a movement.

They hired a golden calf worshiping JINO.

They will pay the price. The corporate employees will soon be unemployed.
