Is it realistic to pitch an LBO candidate that has a negative P/E? How am I supposed to get accurate financials on private companies I’m trying to pitch?

If there is a growth story that makes sense you could pitch it as a MBO. Replacement of key staff with business leaders for a swift earnings recovery.

LBO implies debt. For negative earnings you can still use debt like instruments like PIK, converts, etc.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
