Under Rug Swept
Though admittedly I don't have all of the information about the current situation, currently, all signs point to "got dumped again [professionally]".
As most of you know, I had a falling out a few months ago with a former band member / industry contact who also happened to be someone I considered to be a close friend. It's the blessing and the curse of my job; I get to be close and develop real friendships with most of the people I work with - but then when things fall apart, I've not only lost a 'coworker', but a close friend.
It seems that again, someone who I both admire as a musician and care about personally has silently made the decision to move away from me and the company. I'm surprised and sad; I only found out because the company who is getting this band posted about it. The band never informed me.
I just don't understand what is so hard about saying either, "Hey, you fucked _________ blank up, so I don't want to work with you anymore," or "Hey, ________ offered me a better deal, I'm leaving." I can respect and understand either one. In fact, both of them help me to become a better business. Keeping your opinions and dissatisfaction to yourself helps no one.
I don't mean this in a bitter way at all. I just wish I knew what was going on before things were too late.
