Yep, live and learn...
Dunno how it could have been handled, apart from the goodwill of those
that were leaving to not inform the media until an official announcement
had been made.
At least the other option which I have seen before...Making an official
announcement before informing the employees, so they get to know via the
media.
Any way you look at this its going to suck, just want Ben and the others
to keep in contact and I wish them every success in there fields.
