Hackett, 65, took over at the 119-year-old company in May of 2017 and quickly pulled the company out of the sedan business in favor of SUVs and trucks.<\/p>\n<p>But poor fourth-quarter financial performance in February made evident that his reign would be short, as did the botched launch of the Explorer SUV.\u00a0Hackett will be replaced by Jim Farley on Oct. 1, who has been with the company for more than a decade and served as COO since February.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bob_Iger_Disney\"><\/span><strong>Bob Iger, Disney<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16091641\"><img alt=\"Bob Iger\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Bob Iger<\/span><span>FilmMagic<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The CEO of the Mouse House has been synonymous with Disney over the last 15 years, but stepped down abruptly in February.

But a New York Times Magazine report in March\u00a0documented how employees faced racism from the club\u2019s well-heeled members and worked long days under pressure to keep the spaces spotless.<\/p>\n<p>The company also laid off almost all of its hourly employees and half the corporate staff in April after revenue dried up during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Richelieu_Dennis_Essence_Magazine\"><\/span><strong>Richelieu Dennis, Essence Magazine<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16091633\"><img alt=\"Richelieu Dennis\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Richelieu Dennis<\/span><span>Getty Images for ESSENCE<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dennis was ousted from Essence after a group dubbed Black Female Anonymous published a scathing expos\u00e9 about the alleged conditions of working at the magazine.<\/p>\n<p>The women claimed that Dennis had a \u201csurface-level commitment to Black women\u201d but that he is actually \u201cdriven by greed and a debaucherous sexual <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>etite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They also alleged that \u201che has a history of sleeping with women on the Sundial staff [the beauty brand that produces SheaMoisture, and which he sold to Unilever in 2017] \u2026 For the women who don\u2019t seemingly consent, he openly sexually harasses them at private company events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sources told Page Six that Dennis\u2019 role as CEO was always intended to be temporary; he had just taken over in March, after Michelle Ebanks stepped down and moved to the board of Essence Ventures \u2014 where Dennis remains the chair.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steph_Korey_Away\"><\/span><strong>Steph Korey, Away<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The boss of the trendy luggage brand has resigned twice in the past year.
