Given investment houses control over 50% of Gentiva's stock, they could be viewed as the child's family. Wall Street, with its values nearly the opposite of hospice's collaborative, volunteer origin, will likely decide Gentiva's future. Will Kindred's dowry be the largest? This suitor stated it will not be deterred and wishes to consummate the union. <br /><br />There are many analogies for Kindred's actions. Anonymous (from unknown origin), you utilize a business framework, which I clearly understand. Our current version tends to minimize and denigrate relationships.<br /><br />It would be real if people could talk openly about things and not have them minimized by "Don't worry, be happy" sentiments. <br /><br />Our leaders have proven they don't have our interests at heart. Gentiva's selfishness and greed have bumped into Kindred's selfishness and greed. Aware, I can make my way and be a blessing to patients and coworkers. Render unto Tony Strange, that which is Tony Strange's.<br /><br />Anonymous (from Gentiva)Generic Hospicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669579852437818488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030992816964103730.post-32045743783206734762014-05-31T13:09:18.495-07:002014-05-31T13:09:18.495-07:00Anonymous,

Keep in mind, regardless of all of the shenanigans, shareholder approval is still required. 51% need to say "YES." to consumate the deal (to put it in your language). That is part of being a publically-held company. The pursuer still needs to go to the shareholders and gain their support, which is the case for any publically-held. That being the process for any publicly-held company, I don’t think a comparison to RAPE is a fair assessment. Here we have one company going after the other and being told “NO.” The rejected party keeps pursuing and in order to get legally married goes to the families (shareholders) and attempts to gain their support. If the families say “YES,” the pursued company now has to get married. But, this begs the question, is it forced? It clearly is not RAPE. In your scenario, the few who may say “NO” are raped, but ultimately it is the will of the majority of shareholders. And if the majority of shareholders say “YES,” no crime has occurred as they willfully are getting married!! Shareholders own the company and THEY say “YES” or “NO.” Nice try, but no dice with me. It almost sounded like you were taking pity on the evil management ranks at Gentiva. <br /><br />Keeping it real like Happy Meal. It's Friday, be Happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
