Truth. My old family owned company was bought out by a huge multi-national conglomerate 9 years ago. They did the feel good, "wow, it's going to be great working for these guys" changes first. More money by job title, not seniority, more vacation days, much more PTO and better benefits. Then came the shit storm. Safety monitoring, process monitoring, efficiency experts, corporate suits constantly parading around. Then last January they dropped the bomb that they were combining us and another corporate outlier with a third company out of state 2 hours away. I'm 56 and own my home outright, wasn't going to happen with no guarantee that I'd have a job to retire from so I took the severance package. Less than 10% of the employees chose to go, some of the ones that are still there temporarily are cashing in big time and I'm happy for them.
Anyway, FWIW, I'd be fine with a blow up from Colbert on down. It's an offense based league now, and Tomlin is a defensive guy. I know it's not the "Steeler Way" to change coaches; they disdain managerial upheaval. Fact is, I think Tomlin is well aware that his job is safe as long as he prevents a total melt down. I mean, how do you fail to have a team prepared for a home playoff game against a divisional opponent no less? I like Tomlin but he has grown too comfortable.
