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

  • 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.

    • 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.
