He didn't fire 3 security managers. They resigned. That may seem academic, but I'm sure it wasn't for the people involved. If they want good publicity from firing people... fire them. If people resign I just assume it was because they got a better job (I've had a coworker pushed out this way -- the CEO just got another company to give him a better offer). If you want to avoid bad publicity from 'fired' being in the headline, you also avoid the good publicity.

Did either of you read the story? Uber last week said it fired its chief security officer, Joe Sullivan, over his role in the 2016 data breach, which compromised data belonging to 57 million customers and about 600,000 drivers. The resignations Friday came amid mounting frustration within Uber’s security team over Sullivan’s dismissal and the company’s handling of the public disclosure of the breach. So he fired the CSO, and then those reporting to Sullivan resigned (The departures include most of Sullivan’s direct reports.).

  >"So he fired the CSO, and then those reporting to Sullivan resigned " Which is not the same thing as actually firing 4 people. Did you read the parents comment?

    Yeah, but it is pretty important given the context. He did fire the person directly responsible.

They were clearly allowed to resign. Three employees responsible for a major screwup don’t all suddenly get new Jobs at the same time.
