Nowhere in the article was it suggested that he needed direct communication from the CEO or Boehly. They just included those two in the list of people he had not heard from, including any department heads.

He was basically given no communication at all until just before the season and even then it was sort of a gradual reduction of duties with no reason given.

It’s definitely a non-standard way of letting someone go.

It’s not really another way though is it? Or rather, or it’s not adding more decisions to be made. Previously it was “Do I give this person a a yellow or nothing for saying that to me” and now it’s “Do I give this person an orange or nothing for saying that to me”.
