Wendy is thinking about leave the company and our traders suffer if they don’t have her to provide them guidance.
Desired State

Wendy should feel part of the team and committed to the company long-term. We shouldn’t hear rumors on the street that she wants to leave the company.

Wendy was left out of some big key decisions and may feel like she’s not making an impact. She is also caught in the middle during big decisions.
