No -- it's just basic courtesy. Any criticism Mr. Altman has of Ms. Pao, he can share with her privately, and it's not privy to us.

Disagree. Basic courtesy would be "We appreciate all the work Ms. Pao has done and the way in which she handled her resignation as well as her professionalism in the face of many abusive comments from the community."

The glowing "done an amazing job" etc... is typical corporate BS and is the classic back scratching that happens at these upper management levels. As an example when Victoria was fired, there was no statement or acknowledgement despite the publicity - let alone a "Victoria has done an amazing job..." type statement by Pao, Alexis or otherwise.

Again, just reinforcing the manager/worker class division.
