The board doesn't "let go" of people willing to do a hatchet job, they hire them into their other companies to do the same. "Failing upwards" is a term that comes to mind.

Is that an opinion or backed by facts? I’ve never seen someone fired from a C-level role only to be hired into an investor’s other investment.

The point is they don't get fired for laying off staff.
