Arguably a competent person wouldn't have persisted in a role where it was obvious they were not able to make a meaningful difference.

Can’t speak for her, obviously, but personally I tend to wait to make my exit once I know the role is not working out If I were in her shoes, I would have known I was going to leave during the worst of his tantrums, but I would have timed my exit for a more graceful moment. Dramatically bailing out during a storm would not be a good look for an exec who wants another key role somewhere else

  Another possibility is that she was fired.

  If she were trying to time it, this timing seems weird. This is literally the day after Grok kept posting anti-semitism, praising Hitler, and calling itself MechaHitler. This might not be the least graceful moment for an exit, but there were so many more graceful exit times.

    The speed at which replies mentioning Groks Nazi freakout get downvoted here make me really question where things are headed..

      All the race science phrenology bullshit is coming out of Silicon Valley. It's not a surprise to me that HN would be full of people "just reading the stats".

    FTA this was announced last week to employees. "Ms. Yaccarino had discussed her plans to leave with X employees earlier this week, before the incident with Grok"

You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life.

  Unless you think said job is edging into "oh shit I might be part of the Nuremberg Trials II" territory. Life got short for quite a few historical Nazis.

    Sure, and I agree, but that's not really related to what GP is saying

      It's related to what you are saying. It's a non-monetary reason it'd be non-insane to leave the role; "set for life" doesn't do you much good if you're in The Hague.

        No, it's not. Here, I'll repeat the context for you: > > Arguably a competent person wouldn't have persisted in a role where it was obvious they were not able to make a meaningful difference. > You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life. Pay special attention to the phrasing "a role". We are not talking about specifically this role.

        > You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life. Again: you would not be insane to do so if staying in the job has substantial non-compensation consequences. Like jail.
