Charter Watcher

Ted Schremp gets a promotion!

Businesswire has an article about our friend and general douchebag Ted Schremp. It seems that Charter absolutely loves the way he outright lies to journalists, as he has now been promoted to chief marketing officer. From his new post he’ll be able to continue to spread BS about the new wiretapping program, as well as lead his entire company into delusional fairytale land, where every opportunity to make a buck just has to be good for the customer because it’s good for Charter.

This is a warning sign for all Charter customers and shareholders. Ted Schremp is willing to say and do anything for corporate profits, including helping his company violate federal laws and Constitutional rights enjoyed by all Americans.

One has to wonder what it takes to fill the shoes of a man like Ted Schremp. How low does one’s moral character have to sink? How technologically incompetent does one have to be? How willing to shit all over your own customers must you be to take over a job once held by a man like Ted Schremp?

From the article:

“I look forward to stepping into this important position at Charter,” said Mr. Schremp, who most recently served as the Company’s Senior Vice President of Product Management and Strategy. “Bob has developed a solid strategy targeting continued growth, and I look forward to assuming leadership for this key area of the business.”

Let’s break this down. Charter’s “solid strategy targeting continued growth” involves illegally wiretapping our Internet connections and selling our lives to advertising companies. Ted Schremp is a moron who claims that the system doesn’t use the core technology on which the entire program is built, but he’s somehow going to assume “leadership for this key area of business.”

If I owned stock in Charter (NASDAQ: CHTR) I’d be bailing like hell right now.
