Hopefully. The internal comms team should be just completely gutted. In my 9+ years at the company the amount of blundered internal comms has been nuts. I think some of that is from Cornell, who couldn't talk to the company without a teleprompter, and wasn't a good communicator at all.

@bd nobody “retires” in their late forties with two weeks notice. Especially after overseeing some of the worst PR failures of our time and with no one in line to take her place.

@a7 was your wife part of comms (communications) or was she in commercial?

@b9

If you’re talking about the head of corporate affairs, she left on her own and decide to retire. There was no “no cake” exit.

Their leader got no cake exit last month (odd timing just month before holiday) which should tell you everything you need to know. Worst of all was she had no bench

@a4 our comms team su-ks!! Perfect example of over complicating. Our comms team
Is behind the terrible delivery of every bad message. Same as our R&R team!!! They su-k. What risk and reputation concerns have they mitigated???? It hasn’t been brand or dollars.

@a7 I’m sorry to hear that. Was she a high level leader? I’m surprised she was told already.

My wife was part of that team, until Friday EOB.

So yes.

My guess is yes. The comms group has had a rough couple of years.
