There are 2 Sides...Who's Right?

Why does it seem unfair that my executive director was laid-off? There are two opposing sides: the Board versus the State and Fairview residents and businesses. And the argument is that there was no choice. But the other side does not think so. They say it was an inept Board. I have to remain neutral but honestly I sit on the fence.

It is very unfortunate that it happened the way it did. My executive director was shocked. However, she had not been paid for months due to a lapse in funding. It should not have been so big of a surprise. And why is she "trashing," "lashing out," and "sabotaging" Fairview Main Street? Is this a Board misinterpretation and sensationalism of her actions?

Several people do not this was handled fairly. Her personal stuff remains at the office on her desk. Fortunately, I do not have to see her desk everyday because I am rarely there.

But they were all friends in the organization and even neighbors! As a Main Street, the Board has to be composed of, I think, 60% of local residents and business owners. An external person should have been brought it for personnel reviews. In addition, the EUZ funding coordinator and the State should have been contacted regarding the funding lapse.
