Dragonborn10 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Ok if I'm doing my math correctly he was fired just before he turned 55. That is what he alleges. That means this guy was doing the same job since the age of 20. Perhaps he just wasn't that bright. Maybe he was good in the locker room but had trouble using spread sheets. My guess is he was not too bright and should have been fired long ago. Of course missing items such as jerseys/helmets sold to boost his income could be at the heart of this. I sincerely doubt the Bills would fire a guy just to avoid health care benefits. They can waste that amount of money on a back up full back.

If that's the case, he's lucky he only got fired. A guy I used to work with was caught stealing and selling from the company and he now has a criminal record. And yes, he was not to bright. When asked to look, I found his eBay auctions, and verified it was him, in under 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Russ Brandon is not the "owner." Where does this come from? Did Tom Donahoe own the team when he was here? Russ works for MR. WILSON. Whatever authority he has can be rescinded at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemedic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 prolly because he was due medical insurance coverage at 55 years of age and corporate didn't want the expense, nice to see our team is no different from the rest of them when it comes to screwing long time loyal employees, if true......

BRAWNDO Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It took the Bills 35 years to figure out the equipment guy is the problem? No wonder we have been losing for all these years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 prolly because he was due medical insurance coverage at 55 years of age and corporate didn't want the expense, nice to see our team is no different from the rest of them when it comes to screwing long time loyal employees, if true...... And why do you figure that as a "probably" and not a "I suppose it might be possible that" We've seen no indication that's true besides his date of birth, and several rumblings of other issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Seriously, I think we all suspect there is more to the story. Any hints, or are you just going to leave us with that cliffhanger? I guess it finally came out. I did not want to say anything because i had a feeling that his firing was not going to be done. And Hojo was no dumbie. He was a great equipment manager for years.
