As far as I knew 1 month after we put them in management changed.
It's possible the ownership changed before that, and they simply hadn't put in the new people yet.

I am sure they never asked anyone for advice, they just did it. I mean, it was Frank's suggestion in their ears to start with. One would think they would at least ask him for his ideas on their new changes before they implemented them. So apparently after they went ahead and did their own thing, the machines sat there with NO ONE touching them. lol SURPRISE!!!
