Well, he could just use it himself, e.g. if he at least wants to keep a rather clean image on paper, and maybe the biggest trouble isn't even public knowledge yet.
- ckastner 8y agoIndeed, at least to a certain degree. You'd expect a CEO being fired over such a technicality to at least fight back, instead of fully cooperating.
- ghostbrainalpha 8y agoIf you wanted to preserve your maximum reputation score for a potential future job as a CEO... Would you want to be fired for...? A) Being a bad CEO who can't produce profits B) Having an inappropriate relationship with an employee For Mark Hurd, he was able to transition from one great job into another, CEO of Oracle, even after the embarrassment of (B).
- bitL 8y agoDunno, inappropriate relationships (especially when combined with "me too") are right now a complete career suicide/murder. Incompetent CEOs have a higher chance of ending up as CEOs somewhere else; Brian was also CEO of a long-time #1, so there are quite a few achievements under his belt. Without his demos I personally wouldn't be running multiple NUCs and having Intel Jimmy walking/talking at home. I am more worried that the type of ousting (past inappropriate relationship, i.e. likely a few years back) signalizes a new level of sociopathy at the top, bringing a ruthless dark age to Intel, full of internal dissection and agony. I assume the investors/shareholders that had Intel as one of their crown jewels and golden geese are getting very nervous about losing profit and are throwing away any resemblance of humanness, acting as spoiled children, grabbing whatever they could.
