I have a little info on Papa John's. First, there is a Rothschild on the board of directors. Second, do you have ANY idea how much a general manager of a Papa John's is paid? Let's put it this way: With their bonuses, some GMs at high-volume stores make more than Doctors.
A PJ insider has repeatedly told me that they used to promote based on merit. They are now implementing steps to "add diversity", instead of doing promotions based on merit. John schnatter originally stepped down from the CEO role due to some private health concerns.
Another thing, John repeatedly required the pizza to use as much natural ingredients as possible. The board tried to use cheese that had something like 1% other ingredients, but he rejected that and made them use 100% cheese. (A few years back).
John is also known to be a pussy hound, and, from descriptions of some conversations my source has been party to, would probably fit in on the chans fairly easily. Asked my source about him resigning on the day of Trump's EO. Source said John had a reoccurance of cancer. Colon, maybe, can't remember. Talked about the EO, and source said they've never seen any shenanigans like that.
My personal opinion is that they are trying to drive the company into the ground. My source says that the current CEO is probably ok, but there appears to be other players that are up to some fuckery. I would bet there are some nasty people on the board of directors.
Source? Someone that works there, and is a first name basis with him. Take my info for what it is worth.
