Very smoke and mirrors with the response...
Yes. The golf industry does not seem to be for the faint of heart.Net +15 isn't bad, just sucks for the 26 who didn't make the cut.
I would like to learn more about his business model.
Maybe the "not so" is that more layoffs are coming?I just can't figure out the "not so" part. He confirmed our entire news in the single tweet.

That drives me crazy when people abuse the honorary degrees. They know they aren’t real right?Why does he use Dr in his name? It was an honorary degree
Bob Parsons.....not so...is in response to laying off dozens. They didn't. They fired 26 and hired/hiring 41.
Ha, you could be a good lawyer. Coming from a lawyer, that is a compliment.We didn't say more are coming. We said more are possibly coming. Standing by that too, based on who we have spoken with.
Based on his phrasing, I am pretty sure he is an honorary lawyer....Why does he use Dr in his name? It was an honorary degree
Actually Parsons didn't say that.
We stand by our tweet as fact.
And if people would like to play semantics on the wording, they can check out the jobs that are being hired for, there are currently 26 open with a few not being full time.
This is all even more fascinating now. And all about a brand I couldn't care less about. So they have that going for them. Which is nice.
Bob Parsons weighs in. He confirms more than two dozen were laid off.
Still not sure about the "No so", part, since he confirms exactly what we said, but if that helps the spin, I am all for it.
I guess the way I read it was they hired a bunch of people to help open new stores and they either weren't what they were really looking for as part of the post-restructuring organization, or were temps from the word go.
Do you really consider the people who stop working for you on 27 December layoffs? Or merely a return to the norm after the holidays?
Which isn't out of line with his explanation of restructuring, and also potentially fits with the idea of hiring 41 people. After all, I could cut 26 from R&D, marketing, etc. and hire 41 fitters and retail liaisons and demo day guys and call it restructuring, though I can't say that necessarily fits a long-term sustainable business model. What do I know, I'm not a doctor.I can assure you that is not what happened. There were people in all areas of the company from R&D to Marketing that are no longer there now.

Isn’t the point of a forum to....wait for it....talk about things and have opinions?Instead of writing about what your "sources" are telling you about PXG why don't you just call Bob up and get it from him?(maybe he'll tell you or maybe its none of your business ) The glee here from 26 people who unfortunately were fired is astounding. PXG is this, PXG is that...blah blah blah. Get over it.

I don't see anyone in here happy about it.Instead of writing about what your "sources" are telling you about PXG why don't you just call Bob up and get it from him?(maybe he'll tell you or maybe its none of your business ) The glee here from 26 people who unfortunately were fired is astounding.
