Isn't that just what you say though when a senior executive fucks up? I just assumed. No company is ever going to say they dumped some executive. They are going to happily depart ways every time.

True! But, those who fuckup don’t leave with this much fanfare; they quietly fade away into vacuum. Also, 23 years is a long time. Stupidity doesn’t take that long to show cracks.
