Another symptom; massive turnover at the Foundation level. Though the words we've been hearing from the departing people have all been nice, any outside observer can see that an organization that loses people by the droves has serious problems, regardless of what face they attempt to put on it.
I can think of two people that have left, one of which was only ever intended to be temporary. Perhaps my memory is at fault, but I don't remember any "droves".
Angela, Brad, Carolyn, Danny...
Angela was a board member, not an employee, and she'd served two years already - new blood on the board is a good thing.
I didn't realize the comment was limited to employees, although I did leave out the departures from the volunteers. That said, Angela says she didn't "leave", and I guess she didn't, she resigned from the board.
Brad only ever held an interim position, if memory serves.
He was general council too.
Carolyn, I don't remember the circumstances of.
The resolution presumably regarding her departure was sealed.
Danny's resignation basically boiled down to a personality conflict, as far as I can tell (I don't believe he ever actually gave his reasons).
None of the four really gave their reasons. Danny haw made public accusations of wrongdoing against board members, though.
Danny was a one-off, I don't think you can draw any conclusions from his resignation.
I didn't draw any conclusions, but it did provide more evidence that some of the problems I thought were happening were happening.
