A planned dissolution exposes leadership at the moment polished language loses its power. Employees need dates, documents, written answers, and enough warning to act before access disappears and uncertainty reaches the next direct deposit.

A false number never stays in accounting. It changes decisions, trains employees to fear candor, invites legal exposure, and sends the final bill toward people who lacked the authority to create it. Here is what bad leadership costs when truth becomes professionally dangerous.
