Though I am on Holiday in sunny ol Spain, I spoke to Tom Bachik yesterday for quite some time regarding his split from Young Nails.
Though he is trying to be all professional about the situation, I felt someone needed to speak their mind openly about the situation... So here goes:
I find the whole saga rather pathetic. It is really sad to see such talent sucked dry by vampiric wannabe's whose visions of the almighty $$$ override common sense and values.
I suppose they feel that the momentum the company had developed the past year has less to do with him and more to do with the ego wielding wanna-be suit(s) that are now in the driving seat.
Shame for them and the rest of the industry. Like many people in the industry, my perception is exactly the opposite.
Young Nails gets a big ol honkin thumbs down in my book. I have been in the industry long enough to accurately predicting the future of companies that use people. Those that use people use people with no bounds. That means employees, vendors, and even customers.
Lets hope that YN may learn a lesson from this experience and develop a far better way of valuing people.
