you know there's no great secret to it they uh they were ordered by the hedge fund company that owns our paper to cut salary and i had the biggest salary and so it came down to do they fire me or they fire a couple two or three people basically and and uh you know they

You know, Greg had people in his corner standing up for him.

I obviously didn't at the end.

But, you know, I'm 65, to be honest.

I was close to the finish line anyways.

And so, you know, it's kind of liberating in a way in that, okay, I want to do some things and have some things in the work if they pan out.

And, yeah.

If they do, then this will be a great move.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

I mean, that is natural.

And I would have hoped one of my...

immediate bosses or, you know, a couple of people made the decision would have stood up for me and said, what's best for the paper?

And I think that they were more human.

And they said, let's get rid of one person rather than two.

And so but, you know, for so long, I had great people standing up for me.

And at the end, I didn't.

And that's that's how it works sometimes as in any career.

Yeah, well, I think this worked.

The company said, or the hedge fund said, you have to cut this much money.
