Gestern hat dann auch Joey Pepper das Team verlassen. Er gab dies ebenfalls per Instagram bekannt, schrieb aber einiges mehr dazu, was vermuten lässt, dass er der Firma wohl nicht so gut geht. Er schreibt davon, dass er seit sechs Monaten kein Geld mehr bekommt, die Firma aber nicht deswegen verlassen hat, sondern weil man weder seine Nachrichten noch seine Anrufe beantwortet hat:

Thought about doing this so many times recently. Stopping each time to rethink. Then send a text. Make a phone call. Send another text. Another phone call. No answers, and no responses. Only lies and empty promises. I don't want to let my teammates down, don't want quit something we've put so much into. Don't want to let down all of the people who've supported. But then why quit? If no one in charge cares to answer or simply be transparent then why am I quitting? Not because the checks aren't showing up, if that was the reason I would have done this six months ago. Besides feeling betrayed and feeling like a fool for sticking it out for someone who obviously doesn't give a shit about the heart and soul of his company. I quit because I can't do what I love to do, while representing a brand that I no longer believe in. I don't want my name attached this anymore. It was good while it was good and I'm thankful for the teammates who've made it fun. This is one of the harder decisions I've had to make. Part of me just wanted to walk away quietly and be nice, part wanted to quit like the flight attendant who slid down the emergency slide with two beers in his hands. But in the end I just want to say what's on my mind and move on to something that'll make me smile. ???? @expeditionone

With everything that's happened, good or bad. I really feel the need to give thanks to @chany1 @mattdaughters @welshington they helped me in every way possible, I definitely wouldn't be where I'm at without all you guys! Such good times and memories over these 7 years being on @expeditionone. I guess all things must come to an end. Cheers to the good times boys!

Wie es bei Expedition One weiter geht, können wir nicht sagen. Wir lassen es euch aber wissen, sollte es News geben.
