Carol Bartz resigns from Yahoo's board

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 11 Sep 2011 6:11 User comments (9)

Less than a week after being fired, former Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz has also resigned from her seat on the Board of Directors.

Says Yahoo! in a Sunday announcement:

On September 9, 2011, Carol Bartz resigned from the board of directors of Yahoo! Inc., effective immediately.

After being fired, Bartz went on to call the Board a bunch of "doofuses" who "fu**ed her over" when firing her over the phone with a lawyer-prepared script.

Regardless, Bartz gets a $14 million severance package and remains on the Board of other companies.

So true.

She has no right to complain when 1/14th of her severance pay is enough to comfortably sustain any ordinary person for the rest of his/her life.

For all we know, she is the one that started a policy of firing people over the phone...except the people she fired over the phone probably didn't get severance packages...or at least they didn't get packages capable of buying a Bugatti for every day of the week.

Don't forget that she was also once upon a time CEO for Adobe, so she's pretty much won the lottery twice over.

Autodesk, but yeah, she was actually worth the compensation there.

Seems being canned over the phone was more of an ego killer then anything else.
Carol, take the money and run. Buy a nice island in the south pacific.
