Another resignation at the Kennel
Highly regarded Club Executive Rachel Murphy has tendered her resignation. Murphy who was recruited by Campbell Rose during his tenure became a life Member and greatly admired in her role as Head of People and Community. Rachel Murphy played a leading role in the establishing of our Museum, Hall of Fame and the production of the two Bulldog Heritage books together with events like the Charles Sutton Best and fairest Dinner. This is a further blow following the losses of Griffen McCartney and CEO Simon Garlick.

Honestly...what the hell is going on ???

Re: Another resignation at the Kennel
Perhaps the role has become mundane or she wants a new direction in her career? It appears that with Garlick we needed someone with a higher level of experience in the functional CEO role.
There's been a plethora changes in personnel in the last 3+ months, but there's not necessarily smoke with all of them.

Front of office staff move on from organisations all the time. Not sure this is such a huge issue.
More of an In Bruges guy?

After 12 years she has decided that it was perhaps time to seek other opportunities with nothing in mind at this stage. Rachel Murphy is very competent and departs with a good spirit.

Re: Another resignation at the Kennel
Thanks Nugget Back Pocket.
Is this the same Rachel that heads up HR? (presumably yes, as "people" sounds like HR).
I did a little volunteering last year and Rachel was just lovely. Has a personable approach and great skills, like remembering your name etc.
Thanks for letting us know and I do wish Rachel all the best with her future endeavours.

Agreed, we have to allow for some natural turnover in staff without jumping at shadows.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

OMG I have just heard one of the Club's cleaners is thinking of leaving the club, not sure we will ever recover if he departs.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

They will be reporting club employees ringing in sick next.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Funny you say that, as there is an internal review under way at the moment to investigate claims of unreasonably long toilet breaks. Signs of major discord at the Whitten Oval. Or dysentery.

All the best for whatever she does next.

Re: Another resignation at the Kennel
I think Rachel has stayed a lot longer than many employees of footy clubs. All the best in your new venture Rachel.
