Re: I am a banker. Some of us did not f*ck up. (4.00 / 3)

I recall that the problem of transitioning a business through a certain income barrier has long been a known business problem. Thirty years ago it was getting bigger that $1 million or so.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Re: I am a banker. Some of us did not f*ck up. (none / 0)

The only business I worked for (I was a first hire) that broke the barrier, did it by switching to a more upscale product (membrane switches can be produced for pennies). Though these days, they aren't doing to well. They closed the company 1 day a week a few months back. A few weeks ago, they added another day closed.
