Members Rawhide Posted August 13, 2009 Author Members Report Posted August 13, 2009 Ken, I do believe he had been working on more videos. I think he has his own production business, so he's still able to do them. I wouldn't imagine that he'd stop. Ben, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of mixed emotions running wild, but he seems to be in stride and doing well. Quote Marlon
Members anne newkold Posted August 13, 2009 Members Report Posted August 13, 2009 According to George what he told me several weeks ago was that they did not renew his contract. So it is not that he was Fired as you stated. Quite a bit of difference when you are not a direct employee and when you are doing contract work! Employees get fired. Contractors whose contracts are not renewed are not considered Fired.

I can only repeat it the way it was told to me...But no matter how you look at it, layoff - fired - terminated - contract extention, what ever... the fact remains that employment is no longer.

Members lthrman Posted August 13, 2009 Members Report Posted August 13, 2009 Funny he's going back to the company that fired him in the '90's. Ofcoarse it was a different Tandy then. Mark Quote
Members Vikti Posted August 13, 2009 Members Report Posted August 13, 2009 Is he going to be working at one of the stores or the offices there on I-20? Damon Quote
Members Rawhide Posted August 13, 2009 Author Members Report Posted August 13, 2009 Hi Damon, He'll be at the offices. Quote Marlon
Members kevinhopkins Posted August 13, 2009 Members Report Posted August 13, 2009 Actually, George left tandy back when LF was starting up, and worked for them for a while. He actually came back to Tandy after a short stint with LF, and as most of us know, was instrumental in making leather craft fun, and profitable, and possible for many of us. He was fired by Tandy back in the 90's, and that's when he started HC. So really, he's not going back to Tandy, he's actually going back to LF! Funny how we seem to make big circles sometimes. I'm sure he'll be an asset to them, and I'm also sure that wherever he's at, we'll all benefit from his experience. Kevin Quote
