DW's favourite company ITM, which he tells us is so much better than AFC and has been doing so for years, but he doesn't appear to hold their stock or spend even a second of his time slating their CEO or complaining about their missed targets. Maybe the 30% staff (costs) cut will free up some staff to fill those AFC vacancies.
