“BK was HATED within the company.”
Every CEO who acts is hated by some elements within the company. Malcontents and those who fear change.
I was there for 2 years under a contract, just recently. I heard no animus directed at him.
And it’s impossible to argue with his results.
I was there for 27 years.
I know of at least 10 first and second level managers in processor design who quit as soon as BK was made CEO.
