    Why would Kohls hire the ex-CEO of Bed Bath and Beyond to begin with? So he could drive Kohls out of business too?

      CEOs of large companies don’t get hired based on track record. It’s all just a name game for them. They rack up company names and it makes them more eligible.

        “Bed Bath and Beyond thought I was a good pick. They were wrong, of course, but they thought that. Hopefully you do, too!”

        “You’re hired”

    Oh, I remember a while back someone saying Kohl’s couldn’t do better by their employees. Looks like the can.
