Linda Yaccarino is leaving X

> I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me

But he didn't? She wasn't even in the loop for many of the consequential decisions

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

"This has been wonderful but it's time to step away and spend some time with family" lol

"him" is not a company. Also not saying isn't disparaging.

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.

Replace “entrusting” with “paying.”

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...

> which I think is going to come soon.

Including the hammocks?
