Is TC Sounds Inc. done forever?

Mike probably wouldn't have even started the company if there wasn't a pre-existing relationship between himself and Thilo & Christa.

"There is a very close family connection between the owners and managers of TC Sounds and my own family. Short of the whole genetic and legal definitions, I consider Thilo and Christa Stompler (the T and the C) absolute family. As I was wrapping up my college career in Santa Cruz, I took a weekend to travel down to San Diego with my father and spend some time with Thilo and Christa."

Hopefully that relationship still exists, assuming shit really is hitting the fan over there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Never do business with friends or family.

I read his whole thing, he likes the shrooms, lol.

DING!
It could very well be just a business move. Of course it would be a slightly shady business move on their part, but I have seen it done before.

I also don't believe the whole "we are losing our houses and personal items" BS either in his email to that debtor. If that part is indeed true, then it is his own dumbass fault for not separating the business from his personal shit. Unless he just has to sell off his personal items in order to make ends meet, since he hasn't been collecting a paycheck. His wording makes it sound like the homes are being liquidated by force though. Maybe I just read it wrong.

In any event as park said, bankrupt doesn't mean gone.

a company i was working for just recently went through the whole thing as well. honestly after you go through a bankrupcy companies that provide you a service really dont want anything to do with you, and they go out and tell the alternative companies. Its a pain in the *** to get anything done, because the main devtor basically has to ok any spending, some of which prolongs anything getting done and make a bad situation even worse.

I have moved locations with a couple of businesses and we always let our customers know ahead of time and we made dam sure that the IT guys knew we expected a seamless transition.

Not to get off topic but I have had people try to get me to guarantee that there will be a "seemless transition" but when you are moving every piece of equipment to a new location, not knowing whether or not the physical data lines are good/work & whatnot, you can't guarantee a seemless transition when you are completely switching locations. IT guys always expect the unexpected.

So when someone says "We expect a seemless transition from site to site"

I reply with "We will do our best to make this as painless as possible"..

And at that point, we thank them for their candor and ask them to clarify what they mean by that very vague statement of doing their best to make this as painless as possible. We plan our moves very carefully, and have always scheduled them around three day weekends and we give the IT guys whatever resources they need with the understanding that failure to be up and running is simply not an option. In short, we don't take any lip off of IT people.

If someone were to to tell me "but I don't know if the physical data lines are good/work," I would tell him that he better have that shit figured out long before we start unplugging shit here.

You have graduated from coke to crack if you honestly believe that.

I'm not the phone company I can't tell you if the lines work before we get there lol. IT guys aren't miss cleo's..

I take it you are a manager... You sound like alot of managers here. We want this done now, don't give us any lip. It's not the technician's job to know this, the manager is responsible for this planning :smile: .

You can't promise a huge move is going to go okay. It's like promising a MS patch is going to be compatible with every application you have (which is what we are going through right now, good planning managers...)

Uh, we have never had such uncertainty when we moved.

For example we had to move our bluffton site, we got there hooked up our datastore for them and hmmmm couldn't see it anywhere on the network.

After spending hours trying to figure out what was going on... one of the tech's went outside to smoke and saw the phone cable had been cut to be moved and never moved (which is not our job... hence the phone company thing).
