Shane Vereen: "We Found Out on Twitter"

Anando : 12/4/2017 12:37 pm
Was just on Joe and Evan on WFAN.

When asked if Giants had a sitdown meeting with management today to announce firings, he said that he found out via a group text chat, where one of the other runningbacks send a Twitter link.

He mentioned he expects a formal sitdown with management at some point.

Has a good relationship with Spags, looking forward to working with him.

Didn't feel like McAdoo lost the team, but said that when you're 2-10 stuff like this is inevitable.
Glad to see

that the Giants are continuing with their great communications processes.

You can just wait until a press conference at 2pm.

I'd have to imagine in the world of Twitter-instant reporting, this is now commonplace.
And the communicative

shit-show continues.
Oh come on

If the board of your company was dumping C levels and VPs do you think you'd be called to be given the news prior to it happening?
This is still a business that has legal/HR procedures to follow

sounds like McAdoo notified the media immediately, while the owners may have still been meeting with Reese. I don’t read anything wrong with word getting out before they have a chance to meet with the players
so what  
mattlawson : 12/4/2017 12:45 pm : link
thats how it goes today.
Unless the players are skyping at the meeting

or told beforehand, there probably is no way things won't spread via social media before they can be properly told. The first player told it would be on social media as they were dialing the next one. They hold a meeting right after, someone in the meeting called his wife already and word is out, etc....
I know this sounds bad,  
Section331 : 12/4/2017 12:47 pm : link
that the players only found out on Twitter, but that is the nature of news today. Unless you think the players should have found out before McAdoo and Reese, there was almost no chance that this could have happened with the players knowing before the media.
Today is the players day off, right?

What did they expect?
Evidence that the problems don't end...

with McAdoo and Reese. The ownership has got to really take this opportunity to truly clean house... there are still plenty of rotten apples.
How could they have been told  
PatersonPlank : 12/4/2017 12:49 pm : link
First, you never tell the employees before you tell the guy you're firing, thats really disrespectful.
Second, it just happened and gets put out quickly due to social media
Third, I bet there is a meeting today.

After saying all of that, I wouldn't be surprised if Eli didn't know it was coming. I bet he got a heads up.
Players are off today  
Kevin(formerly Tiki4Six) : 12/4/2017 12:49 pm : link
How the hell else where they going to find out.
Absolutely...  
Moose and Fury : 12/4/2017 12:50 pm : link
nothing wrong with this at all. We have enough problems, let's not manufacture more.
This is commonplace with CEOs and Sr Executives  
MetsAreBack : 12/4/2017 12:50 pm : link
if they tell the team before going public... the players start gossiping and texting the info out to their media buddies themselves, and the Giants lose control of the message.

I've got no issue with how this was handled.

IN all fairness, the players have today and tomorrow off. Its hard to conduct a formal announcement when none are on the premises

Touche. Looks like I spoke before I knew what I was talking about.

Seriously??? What were the Giants supposed to do? Give me a break. Now we care that this group of under performers are offended about how they heard about this? Comical.

Agree with this and GP re: Twitter insta-news.
next time we go to war  
markky : 12/4/2017 3:09 pm : link
we'll find out via Twitter. that's how it works these days.
Mara just said Eli found out on the radio  
glowrider : 12/4/2017 3:09 pm : link
And knew about it before he called.

Because he was on the radio talking about the status of his current team.
Most of the team wasn't even in the building today  
BlackLight : 12/4/2017 3:18 pm : link
So do you wait until tomorrow or Wednesday to make these moves, just so you can make sure your players don't find out on Twitter?
