George Zimmer - the founder and face of Men's Wearhouse - was recently fired as an executive chairman of the company. He's most well-known for his deep, gravely voice that he sports on the company's commericals, where he ends them all with the tagline, "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it."
Zimmer had this to say about the firing:
"Over the past several months I have expressed my concerns to the Board about the direction the company is currently heading. Instead of fostering the kind of dialogue in the Boardroom that has, in part, contributed to our success, the Board has inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns by terminating me as an executive officer."
CEO Sheldon Stein, who serves on the board at Men's Wearhouse responded to Zimmer's concerns by saying this:
"All I can say is that as a Board member I am very excited about the future of The Men's Wearhouse. I totally support our CEO Doug Ewert and our entire management team."
It's nice to have such diversity of opinion due to a fear of being fired for expressing one that is even slightly critical.
Stein likely also said this:
"Doug Ewert is the greatest person in the history of the world! I love him! If I were a woman, I would ask him to marry me! I would do whatever he wanted me to do! Heck, I'm not a woman, and that is pretty much true. If he wants me to do 75 jumping jacks every morning, I will! If he wants me to work 24 straight hours, I will! If he wants me to lock the door to his office, get down on my knees, and do some mouth exercises, I will! Doug Ewert for president! Woo-hoo! I love you, Doug!"
Rumor has it that, off-the-record, Mr. Zimmer has said this with regard to his firing:
"They're not going to like the way they look when I'm through with them. I guarantee it."
