ABC News has granted a veteran a huge promotion that employees have left behind after recent dismissals 'stuck their newsrooms'.
The network called Audrey Taylor on Monday vice -president of talent strategy and development.
Taylor, who has been with the company for 35 years, previously served as director of Bureau Planning and Strategy in Washington, DC.
She will move to the New York City office of the network, where hundreds of staff members were fired last week.
ABC News -Baas Almin Karamehmedovic praised Taylor's long career at the network, but indignant employees told Page Six that her promotion made them falter.
'Nobody knows who she is! She doesn't know the talent. The recruitment was shocking for everyone, “an employee told the exhaust valve.
Critics say that Taylor will have a difficult learning curve that goes to the Big Apple offices, where staff members recover from another painful round of dismissals.
“She doesn't know the talent and runs talent?” An ABC News Insider said, pointing on it: “Their agents don't know her either!”

Karamehmedovic praised Taylor for her extensive history that worked closely together and cherished talent in our Washington, DC, Bureau, 'when he announced her promotion.
'She has long shown the highest level of dedication and dedication to ABC News' journalistic integrity. That winning combination, along with her sharp intuition for spotting and developing the best new talent, makes her the perfect person to fulfill this role, “he said.
The new position of Taylor has been empty since 2023 when the network has dismissed various managers.
“It's crazy, it took them two years and this is the only person they could find,” the Insider said. “All they do is Tweffen their thumbs.”
At least 200 staff members in ABC News and other Disney ownership divisions received pink briefs on 5 March, whereby GMA3 reportedly 'was completely stripped' by the consolidation of the Good Morning America teams.
Tears flowed through ABC's Manhattan offices while panic employees made hectic phone calls to find out who was the next on the chopping block, according to Oliver Darcy of the status.
Karamehmedovic admitted that it will be “undoubtedly difficult for our organization” while delivering the news.
The show is subject to a series of name changes, sizes, hosts and a major scandal – a scandal – one that co -anchors Robach and Holmes banked and subsequently expelled after DailyMail.com had exposed their affair with photos at the end of 2022.

About 200 employees in ABC News and other divisions in Disney received pink briefs on March 5
At the time, Robach was married to actor Andrew Shue, while Holmes was married to lawyer Marilee Fiebig.
Today the show is organized by Eva Pilgrim and Demarco Morgan – two of the three stars installed to replace Robach and Holmes.
Neither Pilgrim nor Morgan were hit by the cuts announced on Wednesday, the majority that will come into effect on 10 May.
The employees, who recently moved in New York – who moved from ABC's old studio on the Upper West Side to Disney's new excavations in the city center – represented the 'vast majority' of affected employees, people who are familiar with the business told Darcy.
Staff receives a severance payment that includes a normal wage for 60 days and served an extra week per year.
Sources told Darcy how 'some frustration' has been with those packages, because employees' are served 'two weeks a year' in earlier dismissals.
