what is this, a key party?

Sheesh, I'm home sick for a few days, and the whole place goes wonky. The Powers That Be in my library system decided that managers in the system could do with some cross-training by switching to different libraries for a while. Sounds like a good idea to me; get some fresh ideas and perspectives stirring around. However, They have decided to switch out all three of our senior managers at once. Um, is that normal? I, for one, wouldn't relish the idea of being a new boss in a large building and having nothing but other new bosses to back me up. A few possible explanations occur to me:

1. TPTB didn't notice until the email went out, which was, of course, Too Late To Back Out.
2. TPTB are conducting an experiment in management. The security cameras have been retrained on staff areas instead of the public floor, and the footage will be streamed live as a reality show on Xtreme Managrz, the radical leadership website.
3. TPTB simply don't care what we think.

There are doubtless other options as well, but those three seem like the most likely to me at the mo.
