Today, Borders announced the resignation of its CEO, Ron Marshall.During this campaign, many employees and insiders have come forward to reveal how Marshall, who took over as CEO barely a year ago, managed to worsen the company's already shaky financial situation by trying to sell books like frozen foods (he formerly ran a grocery chain).
He also instituted countless senseless policies (such as employee no-blogging contracts and mandating that specific titles be pushed on customers) that have resulted in employee near-rebellion. If this means Borders will now be more open to working with publishers to change its own industry's wasteful system of trashing books, great.
