A Letter To Sony BMG Staff From Andy Lack

According to HITS Sony BMG’s Andy Lack broke the news to his staff of his shuffle to the side with this ironic email yesterday.  In addition to Lack’s attempt at a positive spin, we found his closing "Have a great weekend" on a Thursday only something a music exec could write…or perhaps he’s just glad that the week is kind of over and he still has a job..

Dear Colleagues:

We had one heck of a Grammy night—taking home a total of 22 awards. Congratulations to us all and take a minute to celebrate the talent, strength, and determination you brought to this achievement.

I could not be happier or more proud as I welcome Rolf Schmidt-Holtz to be our new CEO. He will do a terrific job, I have no doubt, and he has all my support and encouragement going forward.

While we have tremendous challenges in front of us, both as a company and an industry, I’m so excited about our future.  I am privileged to take on the role as Chairman of the Board and continue creating with you the best music company in the world.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers,  Andy
