Famous People Who Get Personality Disorder

Let You Go, You or Fire??


Back to the good old justice.
Here two different ways, actually taken from various companies to communicate the removal of its chief executive officer from office.
English is a must to keep the original text, from which they were removed names and real places in favor of fictitious entities.

In the first case, the dismissal took place without notice, with both employment and removal of PC workstation access permissions in real and virtual company. In the second, things went quite differently.

---------------------------------
It is with regret I advise You That Ploni Almoni is no longer contracted by XXXXXX to represent the Xxxxx Market with effect from yesterday. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Ploni for his professionalism and support since the XXXXXX acquisition. Meanwhile we are 100% committed to continue growing the business and supporting our existing customers in Utopia. There are no hidden agendas here. We bought XXXXXX to further grow the business profitably. I will be in Utopia on Monday to meet with our staff to agree the way forward and to prioritise our efforts to find Ploni’s replacement.

Joe.

Dear Madam, Dear Mister,

It is with mixed emotions that I would like to inform you that Ploni Almoni, XXXXX’s CEO, has decided to leave XXXXX to pursue new adventures.

The context of this change is the following:

XXXXX’s objective is now to move from a “small” entrepreneurial type of business to a larger business. Indeed XXXXX’s business is growing fast:

o In Australia, 70% of the WOZ terminals now going on the field include XXXXX’s technology, supporting about 250 different Value Added Services products across 18 categories (Mobile top-ups, Gift cards, Loyalty programs, attraction tickets, tolling, health programs,…).

o In EMEA and in the US, XXXXX is already implemented in few places and has very advanced discussions with many additional players. XXXXX hopes and anticipates to sign additional agreements in these regions during the Almoni of 2008. This will boost XXXXX’s revenue in these regions and contribute to XXXXX’s overall growth and XXXXX’s international expansion objective

So XXXXX now reaches a stage where it needs to structure itself and implement the right organization and processes to support this growth.

Ploni Almoni is an extraordinary entrepreneur. What has been achieved at XXXXX up to now is largely due to Ploni’s vision, energy and entrepreneurial skills combined with strong human values.

The Board and Ploni Almoni made the decision that Ploni is not the right person to lead the company further as XXXXX grows from a small to larger business.

The Board, together with input from Ploni and many others has put together a plan for growth. It is now the role of Zyzzy Zyzzyryxy (acting CEO) and John Melbrooksl (COO) to carry it forward.

Zyzzy Zyzzyryxy is one of the founders of XXXXX, member of the board for some years and was co-operating XXXXX with Ploni till now. So that’s a smooth transition.

John Melbrooksl is our COO. He recently joined XXXXX early 2008. He has extensive experience in managing international large delivery organizations according to his last WOZitions in consulting firms like ITM. John is charged with putting into place processes and structures which will stand XXXXX in good stead to deliver now and in the future.

This modification in XXXXX’s organization is intended to support further XXXXX’s international expansion in a very structured way.

The smooth transition plan which is in place can only have WOZitive impacts on what XXXXX currently tries to achieve with its current customers and prospects in the fields of drastically simplifying and reducing costs of operating fleets of WOZ terminals and of providing large varieties of Value Added Services products portable across many different types of WOZ terminals.

I will be more than happy to introduce you to Zyzzy and or John when they will come to ……. or if you come to visit us in ,…,…..

I am looking forward to our collaboration.

Best regards.

Blaise DESCARTES

The question we ask now is: which of the two modes do you think is best, on equal terms?
