Not even a coupon.

Kingswood is laying off nearly 100 people at @MEC HQ today. And they’re not providing any severance pay... just kicking people out into the street. #SaveMEC

This is a great thread.

@infil00p @LALO_CEO @HOKAONEONE Kingswood uses Taylor’s experience at Hoka as a selling point. Hoka may make $277m in sales today, but back in 2012 when JT left, revenues were a fraction of that. Since then, Taylor seems to have only run one or two 10-person companies. @MEC has thousands of employees. #SAVEMEC

@insidemec @LALO_CEO I think it's interesting how different @HOKAONEONE is to his current company. HOKA came out pretty strongly saying #BlackLivesMatter while we know @LALO_CEO clearly believes the opposite based on his IG.

The other thing I wish that reporters would say about @LALO_CEO is that, as far as anyone can tell, he’s never led a company of more than ten people. His most senior role was with a startup acquired by Deckers the same year he left the company. #SAVEMEC

The military is the people. Not the guns. When you fetishize the guns and bullets, you’re promoting violence.

Here’s how I feel about the military: There’s a difference between pro-military and pro-violence. @LALO_CEO’s social media isn’t pro military: He fetishizes violence to sell shoes.

Thank you, @CBCNews and @jrdunne for reporting the news about Jay Taylor as the proposed new President and COO of @mec. The sale of the co-op hasn’t been finalized. There’s still time to #SAVEMEC cbc.ca/news/business/…

In case people are wondering how I know that Dudebro @LALO_CEO will be the next President and COO if we don’t #SaveMEC... I just... do. But if you insist on confirmation from Not A Twitter Account, read @AleksSagan’s piece in @the_logic here >>>>>> thelogic.co/news/new-court…

@infil00p You can help spread the word by retweeting this stuff. People need to know what’s going on in here.

@insidemec It's pretty clear that they intend to gut MEC like a fish, and this guy is so awful that they would need to hire Navigator to spin this shit.

And this is EXACTLY why it's critically important to prevent the sale from going through. And if the sale does go through, then boycott the Kingswood-owned company, because FUCK THIS SHIT! #savemec

@BShane555 This sale needs to be stopped. Thankfully, sales don’t get finalized just because Kingswood releases a press release saying they are. #SaveMEC

The new President and COO of MEC just turned off his IG account. I guess he’s concerned about his BlueLivesMatter retweets. #SaveMEC

The other company @LALO_CEO heads looks like this 6-person outfit in Richmond. How does @mec expect him to run an 1800-employee retail giant as President and COO... except into the ground? #SaveMEC

Lalo is a ten person company. Which means there’s no way @LALO_CEO didn’t know that ads like this we’re running on behalf of his company.

Let’s take a look at the two companies that Dudebro @LALO_CEO runs.

@LALO_CEO, someone who spent the last seven years running THIS 10 person company, is the new President and COO of @MEC??!!?? #SaveMEC

Holy shit. @LALO_CEO, the founder of THIS company, has been named the new President of @MEC??!!?? #SaveMEC

So are these the types of ads we should be expecting on MEC store windows now @LALO_CEO has been named President and COO of the Co-op? #SaveMEC

Hey @LeylandCecco @IzaMasse @MEveFournier @nairoshini @CappyMc @AleksSagan: Perhaps some of this stuff coming out of MEC may interest you?
