We have enough problems without getting theirs, which are much worse, said one exec. No one here, except Jerry and the board, has any enthusiasm for it.

Added another: I cannot believe they would put our amazing assets with those who we dont really respect, for the most part, and think thats okay.

And a third: We are tired of all the noise and the angling [of this takeover] and most of us just want something to get donethis is completely distracting for employees and makes it hard to manage the big businesses we all have.
