I joined the company about four years ago. The recruitment process consists of 3 separate interviews and EB was one of the 3 interviewers, while nosey was another. This explains why I liked EB initially, as she gave me the impression that she was easy-going and easy to get along. To be objective, during her tenure here, it felt like that, until her announcement to leave.
It all started about a year back where we were trying to approve the purchase by a particular customer, from an exotic country (i.e not your usual USA, UK, Malaysia customers), which exceeded her authority to approve. Hence, it went all the way to the corporate office for consideration. The answer came back - No. The risk was too much for the company to stomach given it's recent issues with collections. Of course, she wasn't please given her lack of power to turn this around. We went back to the customer to turn down the order initially, but later on, the sales person managed to convince the customer to pay certain % in advance and I managed to convince the corporate office to proceed with the sales. But alas! damaged was already done. EB was pissed and couldn't take the red tapes, which were hidden under the name of corporate governance.
Further, in the recent internal audit review, her unit failed the assessment during to various reasons. The above were the 2 known reasons for her departure.
To me, to make such a big decision to leave the company, given her status here was a big step, the above 2 may not be the only reasons for her to leave for a competitor.
