Stop in for a cup of coffee

Let me go down and take a shot of my Shandy. It is getting close to end of fermentation.
Smelling like heaven.

I’ve been keeping this quietly bottled up for a while, but today I got the rest of the information that is making it boil over into anger.

My company, as part of a licensing deal, agreed to certain timelines and for those...they were to receive milestones worth $8 million. As part of the profit sharing agreement, those milestones would be worth about $120k to me as a bonus.

Well, the senior management decided to get clever for the partner and tried to do something they thought would mean more money...but they made a decision based on their lack of knowledge of how FDA works. Because they didn’t bother consulting me (I have 30 years experience with FDA) they made a choice to go ahead with a stupid plan that has blown up in their face.

They missed the first milestone date and it cost $5 million of the expected payments. In 3 days they will miss the next one...and it will cost the remaining $3 million in payments.

Just like that, the amateur leaders that think they are the smartest people in the room, failed to consult their own experts...and it cost me $120k.

Dumbasses. They all deserve to be fired.

Gonna stay inside today...cloudy and warm, no-see-um's are out in force. Feeling "vacation hangover," going back to everyday life after a week of Mopar friends and non-stop fun. Off to the kitchen to make a batch of chicken-wild-rice soup.
Yessur, them freakin' nats will eat you alive. You can't do anything outside unless you bathe in skin-so-soft..:mad:

Evening Gentlemen. and ladies if they are here too. Speaking of gals, where has Rainy been lately? @Rainy Day Auto where are you? @straightlinespeed , you would be proud of me. I am under the influence of craft beer. A dandy wheat I brought back from St. Louis. Bad thing is I am out and need to drink Coors Light. (sorry Dave, wish I had a Gold) and my 12 gallons of homemade is not ready yet. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Have you ever figured out what the alcohol content is?
 
They wont let me take pictures. Insurance regulations.......i will try to sneak a few tho...
That's why god invented smart phones with cameras. My granddaughter is an expert at covert pic taking when nobody notices (paying attention)

I would hate to get caught and kicked out, they are doing me a HUGE favor.....but I will try...
 
I would be perhaps a bit less angry if the previous company that I was part of (run by the same group on geniuses) hadn’t done a similar screw up that cost me $800k in bonuses and stock options. The upside if they had done it right was 2x that.

That’s over a millions bucks taken out of my pocket after 10 years of tireless work I put in to make them successful...that they blew by being idiots making bad decisions without consulting their own experts on what to do that makes sense.

But yet they made over $5 million each in salary and bonuses along the way to their profound failure.

Bitter?

Yeah...you bet.

No biggie, just curious what it looks like now before any work is done. Don't risk, but you know that already..

Dang, I think the Shandy is 7.5 or so. I would have to look it up. I checked it a couple times and wrote it down somewhere.
Regular commercial beer is usually 3.6 and light beer is usually 3.2 % of alcohol.
