Pomeroy tosses out Pomeroy

I think this is the start of a big family brawl. When a dad fires his son from the family business, and the son was the CEO and president, that sort of thing doesn't just go away quietly.
It comes back when everyone gets together for a family gathering. If there's alcohol involved, frank and direct honesty become part of the conversation real fast.
Daddy David Pomeroy isn't saying why Sonny Stephen Pomeroy earned a boot in the butt out the door...
"Steve’s conduct and his actions were in no way illegal or involving any financial impropriety," David Pomeroy said in an interview this afternoon, only hours after the company announced the decision.If it's not a financial problem, maybe it's sexual harassment. That's the only thing that will get someone fired even faster than for stealing from a company. I pulled that fact right out of the perfectly grooved cushions of the Futon Of Love. It's as good a theory as anyone else's.
David Pomeroy said Stephen’s firing had nothing to do with pressure from shareholders who had been demanding that they both be replaced.
