MSG was a big one, and Mike Elliott didn’t retire. He’s EVP/CPO at a small college in Albany I’ve never heard of. Eash, though I can’t comment on if he was that good. There’s been a ton of turnover in mid-level management as well. Really at all levels. In one (or two?) of the pocket sessions it was asked multiple times if it was a concern and it was finally addressed, and they blamed it on “the great resignation” and basically that they can’t afford to boost compensation right now but that they were a little concerned about it. This was pre Scott-To-Delta…I don’t think that was a compensation issue though. Something happened there.


The thing that concerns me the most is just reading this list.

While higher than normal attrition at all levels is concerning (especially the one guy who seemed to be steering this ship, taking a demotion to go to the biggest competitor in NY/BOS, with zero notice), we just don’t attract that many pipe-hitters in management, imo.

I will say though, I was sad to see MSG go, didn’t know anything about Scott, and I ended up liking Scott better, both from a personal standpoint from my interactions with both, as well as his aggressiveness and vision. I hear Dave is good too, so I’m hopeful he can successfully work as a direct report to JG and do well with the network.
