Every time the Management Team of Europe Through the Back Door takes off for our retreat, the remaining staff cook up something crazy. This year, they were swept away with “Occupy Wall Street” euphoria. When I returned, my office was covered with placards reminding me that, while we may call ourselves the Management Team, the 99% (or, in this case, the 78% of ETBD non-managers) rules.

Enjoyed a great Cameron Hewitt presentation at ETBD HQ last Thursday night – comprehensive coverage (1 1/2 hrs) of Scandinavia! Then we wanted to eat somewhere nearby and noticed closed restaurant Olives – I assume that’s the protest sign reference. Ended up at Arnie’s on the waterfront. Not bad but not great.
Spoof or not, I have no doubt that there is sympathy at ETBD for OWS protesters even though what they really are protesting against is capitalism, something that allowed Rick Steves to prosper in the first place. Keep in mind that attacking anybody with “wealth” which seems to be defined as having more then somebody elese, is just attacking customers of Rick Steves.
Me and this article, sttiing in a tree, L-E-A-R-N-I-N-G!
