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.

    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.

    "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 ;-)

  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.

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

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.
