Faced with the sack, Nominet CEO half-apologizes for taking the 'wrong tone'
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 23 February 2021
CEO of .uk registry operator Nominet has pleaded with the organisation’s members to hear him out before they consider backing a campaign to fire both him and other non-elected members of the board.
Members were quick to point out that one instance of the “wrong tone” being used by Haworth was also the spark that started the whole campaign: when he theatrically shut down the Nominet members' online forum in the middle of his speech at its recent annual meeting citing “increasingly… aggressive and hostile” behavior by folks.
Suddenly, when their job is a risk, they act. It would be better if CEOs keep that in mind before they fire people.
