Normally the C Suite gets a bunch of flowery handshaking when they leave to not spook investors. Saying they got fired for violating company policy effective immediately and dumping the news on a Friday is highly unusual.

Compare the choreographed tone of an article describing the resignation of the AWS CEO. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/14/amazon-web-services-ceo-adam...

It’s also the CTO of a tech company.

We like to gossip about tech companies
"This decision is the result of a violation of Company policy"?
