Experts weigh in with opinions on what happened.
There is speculation as to whether the executive left for another position, or if he or she was forced out. The change may in fact be newsworthy. Your company may not be large enough to make the news when a senior executive leaves, but it can cause just as much buzz internally. Instead of media experts, other managers as well as the rank and file will weigh in with their theories. The company rumor mill can have just as much impact as headlines in your local paper.
