Since you want to make this personal, here goes.

My business has a growth rate of a minimum of 23% per year. We grow our growth internally, that is, we don't buy other companies just because they have a contract we want. We don't buy growth, we cultivate it.

We have training paths to teach our younger employees our business culture and work ethics. We also provide for the professional development of our less experienced staff.

If thats OLD SCHOOL then I'm damned proud to be old school. A business has to grow to stay strong. A growing business is not taken over by the younger movers and shakers. Moving and shaking plays very thin after a while and people tend to gravitate toward companies with proven performance and core values.

CANTHETUNA you stepped over the line here and I will call you out on this one. That is about as delicately as I can put it.
