[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9320134, member: 18"] Yeah it's definitely not impossible. I'd say it's somewhat less likely than this being partially planned but there being difficulties over announcing a replacement - which can be pretty variable - the classic one is, you [I]had[/I] someone great on the hook and were nearly there, then someone else made them an even better offer - often the company they were already working for. Or sometimes the person you were hiring just gets cold feet, or there's some kind of opposition to appointing them that isn't easily resolved, which may be overcome or may require getting someone else. Oh or the other classic - you've got someone on the hook, but they're being tricky about signing, asking for more money or a better contract or whatever, and it's surprising how late in the process that can become an issue with high-end execs (who are seen as rare, non-fungible beasts, however accurately or inaccurately), because they're absolutely not subjected to the same hiring approaches as us peons. A sudden firing (which would never be an actual firing unless they'd like murdered a guy in the street! Always a resignation for our noble caste) is much less likely, especially as even with those, you tend of have months of fully-paid gardening leave before the firing is actually announced, and they usually wait for a successor to be lined up.
