Is JOE worth buying ???

[scooterbug44]

When these types of things happen, many good people lose jobs, and that is the sad part about what is happening. From the business perspective, however, I do not view any of these changes as surprising or negative in any way.

I also would guess that many of the Joe employees at WaterColor who are in sales will land on their feet with other realty companies in the area.

In short, I think all of the negativity surrounding the real estate market is translating over into how Joe's recent announcment is being viewed.

The current real estate market is definitely the major impetus for their changes, but the ways in which they have chosen to deal with it (telling employees less than 45 minutes before the news hits the AP wire for example) and its effect on the community is why people are reacting the way they are.

Shelly, thanks for your well wishes. Do you tell your parents daily of their imminent demise? They should have someone check the plug regularly on their ventilation machine to make sure you haven't "tripped".

Thanks for the link to D. Roberts' story...nicely written--and smack on. I bet her English and writing classes at FSU are sold out every semester.

I found the tone of the article a bit condescending towards the area. Funny how otoh we are the boondocks yet she goes on to compare the present airport in PC to LaGuardia, Reagan National, and Logan airport. I may comment more later but I've gotta go clean the swamp mud out from between my toes. Maybe I can go to Tampa one day and get some shoes.

I drove past the airport property again the other day. It's still the boondocks. :roll:

We have some nice shoe sales going on here in Tampa.

And what part of the piece would that be?

Yeah I drove by too and after giving the matter deep and lengthy thought (how long since my last post?) I agree it is the boondocks. I apologize for my previous outburst and will use a trick I saw in another thread--I now consider the matter closed.
