Before you defend Krystal's letter, think about this... Imagine you work for a company; it's struggling a bit, losing revenue. The last financial year showed a decline in revenue & profit. Boss comes in one day & says "I'm gonna hang it up; I'm going to resign".

A few weeks later, he's still there. Obviously some changes are coming. But not fast enough for you... So. You, one of the staff members who contributed to the overall loss & even recently failed to close a major deal, go into your office, put pen to paper & this is what you say.

Thanks for being a good boss, we appreciate your service.. but I, a recent failure, with hardly any track record, think I know what's best for the company. So I'm telling you how soon you need to get gone & advising you on who to appoint to some key positions before you head out.

Not even a private convo. A letter. That goes public. What precisely, for good or ill, do you think your boss' reaction would be? Can you honestly say that it doesn't reek of disrespect & insubordination? How much dignity & repute could your boss retain if he let that fly?

If you were the boss of that entity, one that you'd provided decades of commitment to, done an exemplary job in many respects, made sacrifices for, what would your reaction be? Honestly.
