Product knowledge is pretty much zero. I wonder if George has actually stepped foot into one of these stores himself. As an investor, I can't help but think we just bought ourselves an albatross.

As another former Radio$h!t employee, I concur, RS/TheSource is a big fat steaming pile. They were NEVER competitive unless they were clearing out very outdated stock. The mandate seemed to be to cram as much steaming piles of trinkets into the store, and lie ("persuade") customers into buying. - Bell's mobile service blows - Bell's customer service blows - Bell blew a multi-billion $ takeover bid - And now they're investing in steamers which are only going to drop (they should have waited for Canada TheSource to file for bankruptcy, then snatch it for a bargain) Someone please tell me, why do I still own BCE stock?? SERIOUSLY? :(

- Bell’s mobile service blows
- Bell’s customer service blows
- Bell blew a multi-billion $ takeover bid
- And now they’re investing in steamers which are only going to drop (they should have waited for Canada TheSource to file for bankruptcy, then snatch it for a bargain)

Someone please tell me, why do I still own BCE stock??

All the Rogers training that the employees went through basically brainwashed all Source employees into believing that Rogers is infinitely superior. They might have a hard time changing everyone's tune now. Oh yeah and one more point.
