Joanna was presented with an extramarital affair that wasn’t sexual between two employees and was ending in a spectacularly bad breakup. She tried to provide a path for both to keep contributing and being part of Open Stories Foundation, Dehlin was punished and accepted he needed to resign, Rosebud tried her power play and when that failed her tune changed.
No, Joanna was presented with an extramarital affair that
was sexual between the leader of the organization and a subordinate that had resulted in allegations of sexual assault.
Joanna conducted no formal investigation, and did not inform other members of the board. She then tried to pressure the
subordinate into resigning, and when she wouldn't, Joanna fired her.
Thinking that Joanna wanted to have them
both resign and then rehire
both of them once she learned they couldn't keep their hands off each other requires a tremendous suspension of disbelief. Her plan was to rehire John and accept Rosebud's resignation and send her on her way. Rosebud, smartly, forced her hand.
Faced with the decision of getting rid of a subordinate who was great at organizing conferences and getting rid of the head of the organization who had locked everyone out of all the websites and content, Joanna made a very clear decision.
