Here's hoping that Mundick can enjoy more tranquil moments like this in her now-immediate retirement.
A decision that should have been made in the first place:
Subject: Announcement
Importance: HighThis message is sent on behalf of Susan Mundick, General Manager, Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation
——————————Dear Directors and Managers,
After reflection on my recent retirement announcement, I have decided to leave my position effective immediately. I want to express my appreciation and thanks for all your support and kindness during this transition and the 11 memorable years here at the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation. I wish you all every success and I look forward to an opportunity in the near future to celebrate my retirement from the Park Board/City of Vancouver.
Susan Mundick
None of this agreeing to offer “support the Board through an efficient and effective transition to new leadership” or “work with the Board to implement a smooth transition of executive leadership.”
If you retire, you retire. Let the current staff, or your replacement, decide on the next steps.
Enjoy yourself Susan.
