Ray O'Rourke stuck in the 1950's

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High profile projects Some lovely people

Cons

Ray O'Rourke needs to learn how to keep his nose out and finally let someone take over the company day to day runnings. He is running the company into the ground but doesnt have the common sense to let others really innovate. He's stuck in the past. He is the only one in the company that wants a 5 day working week in the office and are losing good staff because of it. No one will want to work at LOR while other compnies choose to have hybrid working.
