Because of incompetence or because that's what he was hired to do?
- That's exactly what I was thinking - it's simply too easy to hire a CEO to commit to unpopular changes, act as a hate sink, and then resign.
  
  He was CEO for 10 years. They are trying to put a good spin on it but he fucked up and and has done huge damage to the company and his own career.
