(5,342 posts)49. #5 CEO's Stupidity trickles down to Franchisee, hurts their profit
I took my first business class recently and this was my first thought I had after I realized this decision by 'Papa' was purely political.
I said to myself that he's acting like this is something that will hurt all businesses but the way he worded his message to the shareholders caught my attention. A simple search brought up the surprise that he is a Romney supporter. He's a selfish CEO who let his political leanings and greed come before the people who have invested themselves in his chain.

Papa John's major competitive disadvantage is that their pizza tastes like ass.

He showed not only contempt for his employees, but contempt for his customers as well.
