NO Match for Harriman/Schmidt

Mark why don't you put the reason why they let you go. You know regarding events that happened this past weekend. There is no need to post fairy tales. You can tell the truth about the reason you were given for being fired. And while you are at it why don't you tell everyone how much you cost Str8 Shots because of your actions and how you tried to turn it on Kimberly.



How come when you were asked about the Mosconi Cup when we were all at Jamaica Joes you told everyone you could not find a babysitter for Jessica's son and now you are insinuating that it is because you lost your job.

YO, bma9ball,

Not really Tim, but I guess I will just say that if you hire someone in marketing and put out press releases here on AZB and want MAX exposure, then I would expect a marketing person to push those press releases and any other info as much as possible. That's what marketing is about. We also did it on Facebook. If I am wrong for giving the max exposure then I guess the past 10 years of marketing have failed me.

I really thought it was part of my job to get the name Str8-shots out there,

Mark, You were hired to work with the team and do special events for Str8 Shots. As I recall you stated you were in charge of menial tasks in your signature. Also you never put out a press release and you were never the director of marketing.

Another thing, you keep saying we this and we that and I know for a fact Kimberly handles her own press releases with AZ Billiards.
 
I blame Mark for what caused this whole mess in the first place, the Harriman/Schmidt match of which the AZB idiot made his own observations and talked to the parents kids! I am not going to rehash this whole dang thread, it is unnecessary. I wish mark the best and hope that everyone can be civil without saying stupid ^&**.

Well, seems like you have already crossed that line. Sounds more and more like you are the reason Mark got fired. Because apparently, by your own words, you get half the info, and then go off half cocked and start saying things that aren't right. This whole thing could have been handled very easily, but apparently the powers that be don't have a clue how to do that.
 
This thread was brought back to life a few days before I posted in it.

My name was mentioned about Danny getting his money so I answered to let all know I was not part of Str8-Shots.

I have said nothing wrong about Str8-shots. Just letting all know I am no longer a part of the team an have not input.

I am taking the high road until I feel I need to do otherwise.

OH, By the way Brian is Kimberley's brother. Just fyi n case anyone wondered why he was so protective. Actually seems like a nice guy but obviously is on one side an he does not know much other than what he is told.

Still keeping it nice. FYI and there was NO need at all for this thread. It could have been handled WAY better. It was not my call. Just fyi.

Classy post Mark. The high road is class, and often hard to travel.

I hope things work out for all. You have a lot of well earned, deserved support here. Perhaps if more was known @ Str8's accomplishments, besides wanting to take care of juniors and separating from you - the tone here would be different. Thanks to Brian for giving AZ some insight. Miscommunication? Money? Greed? Inexperience? Ego? We all get to guess.

I would hope - the affiliation fence between Str8 and Mark can be mended.

Everything can be known if Mark lets everyone know why he got fired. I was luckily enough to personally observe the best of Mark over the course of a weekend at Jamaica Joe's. I wouldn't have hired him in the first place! Since you are such a smart guy, tell me where I am going off half-cocked and saying things that aren't right? I posted my own observations and personal experience with Mark.

I am taking he High road on this. Brian, you really should stay out of this as you do not know everything and I do. I could really go to town on this and I could put my rep with the players against Str8-shots and really cause trouble.

I am not interested in a BIG problem here, I am saying nothing against Str8-shots. The reasons for my dismissal are silly and make zero sense. I have other info that will not be good and I am keeping it all to myself if thy are exposed will be from Str8-shots and then an only then will I say what is on my mind. I suggest you do likewise and keep it nice. I just want to move on an get the time back that I have lost. Almost impossible at this point but all I ever did was put my life and everything on hold to work for str8-shots.
 
Sir, there was nothing arrogant about the post above, it is a fact. Yes, AZBer's are important to the pool industry just not important to Str8 Shots. No offense intended. There aren't many kids on these forums for Str8 Shots to be targeting in the first place.

Maybe not "kids" per se , but certainly the parents, uncles, brothers, friends, and friends of friends of kids. It can easily be said that AZB represents a major, respectful, and powerful presence within the "pool world". To ignore this fact would be very foolish. IMO.

you mean like the press release that started this thread that caused 3 kids to leave? That's good stuff.

I am not sure how his post is classy, he came on here and posted that he got fired but not why! Mark will always be the great guy you AZBer's love but working with him in person left little to be desired in my opinion. Again, I said it in my first posting, Mark, take responsibility for your actions in this! Mark posted on here again knowing this would turn into Str8 Shots bashing. If he really wanted to take the high road, he would have never posted on here again about Str8 Shots instead he is allowing everyone to make assumptions and take sides. I wish him the best but classy posting is not what happened!

taking the high road...Mark, you are a better man than I, dear sir.

Again, another quality post by a Mark Cantrill lover! Best of luck to you keeping up. You might want to reread what happened with the 3 kids leaving before posting something that stupid!

Do you even read your own posts? WOW! In your few posts you have done them more harm than Mark ever dreamed of. If you are any example of the company, even though you say you don't work for them, why would anyone want anything to do with them?

yeah, I've read it, totally not seeing how this is not Kim's fault but anywho...

btw, just an outstanding job representing Str8 Shots bud. you should open a Marketing/PR firm. Quality stuff, this is.

Your ship is sinking Brian. He did not start this thread. I want to take my last post back, but some silly poster quoted me before I could read the 19 posts of unity. :angry:

I like cinnamon graham crackers better than plain

So which is it? AZB has no power, or too much power? We aren't an avenue for you, but yet you so we yield so much power over your company? I don't know you, but you are sounding more and more like you or the company, or both, really don't have much of a clue on what you are doing.???
