I am an ex-53EE employee - I heard from someone still there that the new RVP cleaned house after Dan left. He fired 5 or 6 managers and threatened a few more. Then, when that didnt have any effect, he fired Derek, the RRM.

Not surprisingly, he has not hired anyone for that position, choosing instead to keep all that cash for himself. Evidently, a few weeks ago - when I talked to my friend, all the managers were still on edge about possibly getting axed.
