Natale himself had woken up Saturday morning in something of a funk, according to a company source. He was no longer sure that leaving was the best or only option. So when the resistance asked him if he would un-resign, he was at least ready to consider the idea. But after speaking with his wife, Natale came back with a conditional reply, according to a source with knowledge of the conversation. He would stay, he said, but only if he could be protected from Edward. “He needed to be allowed to do his job,” the source said, and be assured that Edward’s “behaviour would finally stop.”
Working with a lawyer, the directors and the family drew up a new resolution. Their plan would see Natale stay on while Staffieri would be let go. In addition, the board would set up a review to investigate the “governance failures” that led to the crisis. Edward would be allowed to stay on as chair, but under a new structure that would see Melinda, among others, supervise his dealings with Natale and the rest of management.
All of this took place in less than 48 hours, part of an accelerating time-loop of corporate machinations. In just an eight-day span, Natale had accidentally discovered that his CFO was plotting to replace him, been effectively fired, agreed to a departure package, then convinced to come back by a committee working behind the back of Edward, the chairman of the board and chair of the controlling shareholder — and the brother and son of three of the co-conspirators.
When the Rogers board met again on Sunday, Sept. 26, Edward believed the real business was done. It was just about agreeing to the terms for Staffieri’s hiring. But then John MacDonald interrupted him and Martha started reading. And everything he thought he knew about the next month of his life was turned on its head.
It would be fun if some Bell owned property bought the rights to this story from one of the Rogers and then made a movie about it and put it exclusively on Crave.^This would make for a great TV drama if Succession wasn't already doing it.
