Shareholders
Alan Alanwich hated stockholder meetings. "We all know in the current economy, it's necessary to enter new markets. And in a market as nascent as this one, we are literally building from scratch."
Mr. Stubbs, the shareholders representative, continued to press the issue. "I didn't travel all this way for excuses. We are behind on our projections. If you can't return the company to profitability, perhaps it's time for new leadership."
Alanwich had heard enough. "This is my company."
"The company belongs to its shareholders."
"You do realize we are on the moon."
"There you go with your excuses again."
