Position was eliminated yesterday. I knew it was coming. The owner of the resort descended on the resort in July to "observe". W/in about three weeks, he fired the CEO of 5+ years. Of note: The resort has been profitable for the last 5+ years (not easy in the ski biz), and was ranked #5 in the nation by SKI magazine this year, so the CEO was doing something right. Anyway, he got canned, and things went to junk, REAL fast. Every initiative/cultural change that I was hired by my boss, to implement was either undone, dismantled or called "stupid" by the owner. In short, everything that I stand for, he hates (objective measures, KPI's, smooth "flowing" operations, keeping score, production...and in general, moving the rock forward). So I knew my time there was going to be limited and have been looking for jobs. About three weeks ago, our VP of marketing (recognized across the ski industry for his work) quit, my amazing boss quit, our CFO quit, and last night, I was let go. I'm O.K. with it; I don't want to be where I can't apply my talents and years of experience...and I don't want to be in SW CO, either. So I'm looking forward to getting back, "Home". At any rate, I need a job. Operations, or automotive....I need a job and we both want to be back in the SLC/PC area. Enough "hillbilly hell" for us! ;D Nikki is looking for something in HR as well, so if anyone knows of anything I'd love to hear about it. Side bar: It is amazing how many employers don't even reply to you your efforts. Wow. -Tom

Tom, I for one will be glad to see you coming back to Utah. Sorry that they do not see your talents, and I of all people understand some one coming in and cleaning house. Been through that before myself (At 3 different home builders). I will keep my ears open and will PM you with anything I hear. Again congrats on getting to come back.

Tom would be great to see you back here in Utah. It isn't quite the same not having you around. Rebecca and I were talking the other night how we missed having everyone that was here out and about.
