Note to Readers on D'Ambrosio
Judging by the Comments to my original story on Lou D'Ambrosio's resignation from Avaya, and from some email I've gotten, there seems to be a feeling that I was casting doubt on the stated explanation for the resignation. I certainly wasn't doing that.
As I wrote to one of my email correspondents, sometimes companies and their leaders get very specific when they make announcements like this (for example, when Steve Jobs announced that he had a rare but curable form of pancreatic cancer). So I felt it was important to make clear to the reader that “medical reasons” was the extent of the explanation that was given by Avaya/D’Ambrosio, that there wasn’t more to it, anything more specific, that I was leaving out of my writeup.
I put quotes around “medical reasons” because that was the exact term that Avaya used in its release; again, I didn’t want to use any term (e.g., “illness,” “condition”) that could have a shade of meaning other than what I knew for sure—and again, all I knew (and still know) was what was in the Avaya release.
