These people are supposed to be professionals, but are really showing their colours. I am just gobsmacked (no better word, sorry) by the timing, the fighting... what on Earth was going on in these upper echelons? Such shockingly disappointing behavior. So egocentric. Does no one have ANY values? Leadership would be a good start, honour, credibility, determination, Team work, tolerance, trustworthiness, usefulness, vision............. Having a clear out of such 'odds and sods' cannot be a bad thing... but we MUST be able to find decent replacements, surely. Could we actually apply for the job, as we would CEO? Maybe the pool of resources is quite limited in the first place and we should widen the scope. It seems like the 'people' have a voice, and that has scared the scheisse out of the so called leaders.
