gaboman said this in post #7 : So why'd he get fired?
He got fired because he pushed the pink (girly) mens bathing trunk to the PM and the rest of the team. None of the buyers bought that suit. People thought that the average man (heterosexual) would not wear that suit because of the color and style. Carey was thinking of the gay male consumer and not a broader consumer market. Trump agreed with the team, which the majority blamed Carey for the design. Their team lost by a few thousand dollars to Heidi's team (Kinetic), and the PM and the other candidate in the boardrooms agreed that Carey was the one who made the decision and therefore should be fired. (Even though the PM did not overrule Carey when she thought the suit wasn't a good sell)
Hmm, yeah, I would personally go for the PM on that one. If Carey's pushing it hard, but the rest of the team are not on board, the PM should just overrule him. It's a hard to know where to point the blame sometimes though. Especially since I haven't seen it.

I agree that Carey wasn't at full blame...but lets face it, that bathing suit is so pathetic....the mere fact that he put them on, let alone make them, deserves firing.
The photo itself is funny...but the lady's facial reaction in the picture itself is even more hilarous! She looks she is about to lose it!
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)
