Cuban missed the crucial meeting with Williams because he was in Californai shooting episodes of “Shark Tank,” the Emmy-winning reality show for which he is a judge, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News.
I have to say the folks that are stating that just his feelings were hurt. Why you work for a employer that does not have the time nor the want to interview you?
Disagree totally Jason. It makes perfect sense to me. Imagine that a company claims they really want you to work for them. You go to the interview, and the guy who's been wooing you, the President, can't even bother to show up? That would seal the deal for me, especially if there was a competing company that showed more commitment.
That makes Deron sound like a crybaby
or more like spoiled or prima donna.
