In most cases, when a company fires one of its employees - from the mail room to the board room - that’s pretty much the end of it. But not at Morgan.
Last week we reported on the Morgan Motor Company firing its chief executive Charles Morgan, grandson of the company’s founder. Charles had been sidelined to more of an ambassadorial role, but the company apparently wasn’t happy with his performance in that capacity either, and announced that Charles was being ejected both from the management and board of the company that bears his family’s name.
But Charles Morgan is fighting back. He’s apparently garnered the support of many of the employees he used to direct, and is reportedly taking the company to court later this week.
The Morgan Motor Company insists that the decision was taken with the support of its shareholders, who are all members of the Morgan family. It’s unfortunate to see what is looking increasingly like a family feud being played out in the press and the courtroom, but one way or another, we hope the various Morgan parties will find a way to reconcile soon. In the meantime you can read Charles Morgan’s statement, issued on his personal blog, below.Continue reading Charles Morgan fights for his family’s car company
