George Zimmer responds

According to Bloomberg, George Zimmer has responded to news of his firing from Men's Wearhouse:

“Over the past several months I have expressed my concerns to the board about the direction the company is currently heading,” Zimmer said in a statement. “Instead of fostering the kind of dialogue in the boardroom that has, in part, contributed to our success, the board has inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns by terminating me as an executive officer.”
