I never cease to be amazed at the poor way in which organizations handle issues. The most recent case in in San Luis Obispo, where the board of the Symphony has dismissed their music director.
According to reports in the local paper The Tribune, no one (except the board) had any prior knowledge that this was coming. Michael Nowak, the Music Director, was invited to a board meeting and at that time was informed that by unanimous vote of the board he was being terminated.

Musicians are demanding answers, and threatening to quit.
