    I haven't been to the office in a while (on leave) and reading from home, but somehow I skipped this particular email from the president.

    This is a link I saw - http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-02/06/c_138759026.htm

    Cultural fit is my guess. Am sure there is a lot of opposition within the bank to what she stands for. However, I’m not an insider.

    Just compare her pedigree to her predecessors.

    She was fired because she criticized “certain advanced countries for recent troubles with trade led global development” in World Development Report 2020.

    Malpas got a phone call from WS. Immediately, he called Penny to his office. Gave her two options: either resign on your own, or I will announce that I have fired you.

    So sad that she was treated so badly.

    I am horrified that anyone would stand in the way of “trade-led global development.”

    He should have asked her to fix it in footnote 7.

    What does she stand for? Bad structural trade papers?
