JAKARTA - A high-ranking Harley-Davidson two-wheeled vehicle manufacturer is said to have resigned after dismantling the company's worrying condition in a letter.
In a Reuters report on Saturday, April 12, a board member representing Harley's second-largest shareholder, H Partners, Jared Dourdeville, said that there was a fading of culture within the company.
The letter said that the company's eroding culture was caused by the departure of senior leaders and its remote work policy. Jared also called for the resignation of Jochen Zeitz CEO and two other directors.
In response to this, Harley-Davidson said that Dourdeville voted against the board of directors' decision not to offer the CEO candidate his choice.

Situasi semakin tidak kondusif karena Dourdeville mengundurkan diri sebelum rapat yang dijadwalkan untuk membahas tuntutannya. Setelahnya, ia masih enggan memberikan komentar terkait hal tersebut.
Harley-Davidson has announced Zeitz' plans to retire from the company this year and said he will continue to work until the company finds a replacement.
The iconic motor vehicle manufacturer has now struggled to attract younger motorists. This is because the previous generation, especially baby boomers, are getting older.
In order to compensate for some of the profitability pressures, the company has updated its product lineup for 2025 by including a higher margin of Touring motorcycle and sharpening its focus on custom vehicle operations aimed at its richer customers.
