This is not about putting down Veach or predicting doom. But to me if the sequence of events is true, then Clark did this wrong. I don't know what happens with Ballard, but the timing by Clark is a mistake on his part. Doesn't even matter who turns out best, the fact that he didn't give himself a choice is poor management.

Once again, I think it was a difficult reconciliation. As someone that as been put in that type of situation, I can sympathize.

Once again, Dorsey did a great job with talent but not so great with communication and management. That became ever more apparent after Ballard left and even more so after the botched releases of Howard and Maclin.

It is what it is. Now, it's time to move on.

The decision is too important for the stuff after Ballard to be last straw. If you are even close to last straw you make the audit before Ballard leaves.

Like you said though, it is what it is. At least Veach seems to have real potential.
