Allow me to be the first to say "What the hell?" Am I the only one who is absolutely outraged by this? We hear Erik call for transparency and openness, yet he gets hired for a position there was no announcement about? I call BS.
I don't think it's really a matter of transparency and openness - they announced the hire, just not the plan to hire, I don't have any great problem with that. What seems unwise to me is that they appear to have hired someone without interviewing anyone else for the position (at least, I don't remember seeing an advert for the position). If they didn't consider anyone else, then how do we know Erik is the best person for the job?
