Linda Yaccarino is leaving X

Good for her. Got paid a ton of money to be the fall guy and no one ever believed anything that went wrong with the company was her fault. That's a clean getaway in my book. Hopefully she can move on to something that isn't building Nazi chat bots.

Sounds like being the manager for the Oakland... Sacramento... Unknown location Athletics. Well, minus the tons of money and Nazi chat bots. LOL

pretty sure she did alot of reputational damage to herself along the way.

This is just delusional. It was obvious to everyone she was in an impossible job with a megalomaniacal boss ,and not only did she not get fired, she actually lasted 2 years and left on her own terms. I think she'll be just fine.

She _accepted_ the job, though. If we're assuming it was obvious to everyone that it was an impossible job, then her accepting it shows a certain lack of judgement, surely.

The reputational damage was taking the money to profit from and aid the megalomania. She'll never be taken seriously by serious people or have a substantive job again. But she'll do fine, her loyalty will probably get her similar opportunity with similar people.

At least they are trying to name the team based on the city they are in, where the Dallas Cowboys haven't been in Dallas since the the early 70s. They trained in a city not Dallas while their stadium was in yet another not Dallas city. Now, their stadium is in yet another not Dallas city, and headquarters/training is yet a different not Dallas city.

With the A's, you could at least be close by going to the city in their name.

If your boss was a jackass would you actually turn your nose at 6m a year? I sure wouldn’t. That would set me up for life.

Shes 62 she can just retire and live on a beach for the next 30 or so years.

> to be the fall guy

People keep saying that, but what did she take the fall for?

"I accepted a difficult position with the expectation that I would make a significant impact on the company's future. Now, looking back, I'm pleased with what I was able to accomplish. I look forward to more challenging engagements."

At least, that's how I would spin it.

But I'd probably have AI massage the text a bit ;-)

As Rust Kohle said in "True Detective": "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time..."

Just not Grok specifically. Wouldn't want it "massaging the text" with ethnic jokes.

doubtful. Marissa Mayer literally killed Yahoo and still was able to get a new job and hold board member seats.

Is that so? Or isn't it that being the CEO of such a large and well-known company is basically always career enhancing? In my experience, with companies hiring for high-level positions, former job titles are valued often more than actual performance.
