My wife is one of the most respected people with her company, and is considered a leader.
If she walked into a conference of the company big-wigs unannounced, while they were discussing a restructuring and asked where she stood, she'd be treated the same way Waters was.

If the allegations are true, there is no way a credible company would act in the same way. For several reasons... #1) if your wife is a leader, then she would be told in advance that something was up--bad companies are the ones who don't communicate the direction to their leaders. So the first question is, why doesn't Waters feel like he's in the loop. #2) Haley's remarks to Waters were like pouring salt into a wound and then shoving your finger into the wound. There is no reason to insult your player like that. Your wife may be told to back off and that they will speak with her later, but a leader would be reeruned to tell your wife that she didn't deserve a voice and then tell her she sucks at her job. If there was any truth to the allegation, the comment Haley made wasn't a slap in the face; it was a punch in the face. And I guarantee that if a manager made that comment to your wife, she would look for another job too.
I realize Waters may have been out of line. We don't know the full story. The Pioli thing could have been handled better, but I agree he has more important things to do and I generally trust him because he's been through this before. The Haley thing is more a concern for me--it's a small flag, if true.
