He knows his shit
Quote:
Charney was on a business trip during the facility's problem-plagued launch in early 2013. Inventory got mixed up, secondhand parts failed and some customers experienced delays or received the wrong orders.
When he returned, Charney took up residence at the warehouse. Some called it evidence of his dedication; others, his micromanagement.
It took three months to get the center operating to Charney's satisfaction. He pushed hourly workers and high-level consultants to work as hard as he did, setting an example by unloading trucks himself.
This spring, Charney took it upon himself to clean up American Apparel's finances.
He personally reviewed all company checks for more than two months. He also laid off dozens in departments including accounting, graphics, legal and marketing. The exits left some departments scrambling.

"Can American Apparel survive without Dov?" said one Charney loyalist. "The answer to that is absolutely, unequivocally no."
