George Zimmer, the founder and CEO of Men’s Wearhouse, was suddenly ousted this morning from the company he crafted as a young man.
No reason was given for the abrupt move. In fact, Zimmer wasn’t even notified before the press release was issued.
Here are some interesting facts about the sharp-dressin’ man:
– He is an ardent supporter of therapeutic MDMA and LSD (“You’re gonna like the way you trip. I guarantee it.”)
– He also supports the legalization and use of medicinal marijuana
– He did not background-check his employees at Men’s Wearhouse
– He is a recovering alcoholic
– He is heavily involved with the Oakland Zoo, where he raises funds and participates in “political battles” for animal protection
– He began his company in Texas by using an old cigar box as a cash register

hes not recovering from anything if hes using marijuana, mdma or lsd…no matter how therapeutically.
Woah. I wonder what he did to piss them off so bad. Whatever it was, it must have been pretty serious. I guarantee it.
Better a recovering alcoholic than an active one.
