Rule #0 is you don't disparage the company on the way out. She may even have a contractual obligation not to.

Even barring a contractual obligation, "do I want to be the target of an angry tweetstorm that might result in real death threats" is a consideration.

Just wait until Musks enters his "John Mcaffee in exile(but with much more resources)" era, which I think is going to come soon. Then all these people will talk.

Or maybe his "Howard Hughes in Hiding" era. Remains to be seen which route he takes. Could also be "Rasputen shot in the ** era" if hes not careful.

So Rule #0 is be silent about the absolute shitshow you are running away from, even when that shitshow is about to ruin many more lives? I think that reflects more poorly on someone than a break in pro-corporate decorum.

    Yes, it's exactly that. Most likely as she was a senior executive she'll have signed an NDA containing a "non-disparagement clause". That's the deal with the devil that you make in return for being paid $millions each year.

    Edit: A few examples of these clauses: https://contracts.justia.com/contract-clauses/non-disparagem...

      Doesn't prevent you from reporting to the authorities the flurry of illegal activity Twitter has likely engaged in. And if you're someone with ludicrous wealth... become a whistleblower and then fight NDA enforcability or pay the settlement if you have to. If you have any guts to put others over yourself and your terrible employer.
