While I agree that the timing and short notice that everyone's talking about isn't the way I'd go about things, there's something to be said for pulling the Band-Aid off quickly.
Sure, they're taking a pounding in the short-term for doing it the way they did. But would that pounding really have been that much better had they done this in phases? I suspect they'd take only slightly less heat, but for a more extended amount of time.
Would you rather take a short flurry of strong punches and move more quickly into "recovery" mode or take lighter shots over a more extended amount of time, making it harder to move on and rebuild yourself to a higher level.
If nothing else, it appears they're at least being decisive and they're ready to move on with or without that vocal segment of the Beckett community.
