Hey Guys, this has been a while since I’ve been here on GFY but this needs addressing ;)
First of all, as others have said we are not MR, we are not acquiring MR and we have nothing to do with MR… We won’t, we are at the opposite end of what they believe in.
Some of you might have met me in the last 5 years… some of you in the last 10 years but some others go a little father back to the pre-2000 era. Often we’ll remember someone from back in the days and reminisce on the good old days and how it was back then etc… Tam is such a person that I met WAYYYYYY back in the old days when gofuckyourself didn’t exist, when I was moderating some board… hell I forgot the name, adultwebmaster something. It was by the maker of UCJ
Anyhow, I go back to knowing Tam around that day and age. Back then she used to be smart, know what she was doing and always took good care of her people and friends. She was friendly and I knew I could trust her. Then I lost track of Tam for years and years. I did my own thing, and she did her own. I made my mistakes, trusted the wrong people and built everything back up.
But all through these years, there was one constant about me… and you can ask around and look everywhere. I have always handled my business the way I should be handling it. I have made good business relations with many people that are on GFY, or off GFY. I cannot think of any people who can say that I was not fair, that I was not professional or that my ethics have been questionable through the years. Every decision I make is always done with Ethics high up on my mind. And I will assure you that the exact same can be said of my Partner Jay. We’ve passed on some deals because they were questionable. We decided not to hire people who we knew were shady or didn’t believe in the same things as we do. So the simple idea of comparing us to MR repulses me. We’re at the opposite ends and if you feel you have been wronged or need assistance with your promotion of our sites , tools or whatever, I welcome anyone to contact us directly Jay and I and we will do our best to help. This is what we do.
As with any organization, employees are what help build a company up but egos and poor management and bad ethical decisions are what brings one down.
We chose to empower the earlier and give a good employee the chance to put her past behind her and focus on what she likes to do, what she is good at and what she loves. What she was 10 years back is still what she is now. I don’t believe the choices the people make for you define what you are, but I do believe that when you are in a good environment that allows you to strive and where you can be part of a great team, only good things can come out of it.
I believe in doing things right, in keeping a high level of integrity and ethics, and that’s what I teach everyone that works with us. That’s what I expect of each and every person in our team. Often people talk of company cultures, well, this is deeply ingrained in ours.
With that said, I cannot condone all that Tam did while at MR that she might or might not have known… I wasn’t there…But I sure can vouch for what she is doing WITH US and what she’ll be doing in the future WITH US as she will be following our company’s culture and lead, I can assure you of that.
And I believe that if you don’t believe that, you should give it a shot and work with us and make your own assessment, you won’t be disappointed ;-)
