Adding to the amusement of the constant panic of missing leadership, was when someone asked about simply promoting one of the interim executives to full time and just getting on with it.

If the guy with the “don’t-turn-off”-server gets fired everyone know that the ship will sink
It’s funny when a big exec leaves and other execs are rushing to reassure us they are to to the challenge of dealing with such a key person departing…

Thank god for that save

Quite an effective way to destroy someone’s reputation and ego.
What a colleague! Haha!
