She's publicly asserting that one or more of her colleagues will lie when they take over her role. She literally cannot predict the future behavior of these people, and is thus acting in bad faith.

Life is short, and I don't get paid enough to deal with people like that.

Where, specifically, does she assert that they will lie? She says they won’t be as transparent and she says they won’t be as accessible. Neither of those are accusations of an intent to lie.

And for what it’s worth, both of those accusations seem to have already played out as she expected. You can read more in comments in this thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23239014
