content: I agree, I have found a new home as well. As said in the video, the timing of the announcement and the manner of the announcement (she resigning opposed to her being fired) is all an attempt to make this be  non-story; at least a very short lived story.  Prior to my departure from Reddit, I recall specifically seeing Ellen respond to a question as to whether she would step down as CEO to which she replied "no." Based on the accounts of her I have read - there is not anything in that would indicate that she really would be willing to make such a decision (to voluntary step down) on her own. Hopefully she learned from her experiences at Kliener Perkins where they effectively terminated her, allowing her to stay on payroll, give some transition time between her and her clients to new teams, but she took it upon herself to tell all her clients she was fired. It was very courteous of the board to allow her to make a final statement and let it play out as they have. I have seen CEO's who invisioned the idea for a very prominent company (this guy was literally employee number 00000001) get kicked out and were never allowed to make a statement of their own (although the press release made it sound like the decision was jointly held between the board and the CEO). I do think that her short tenure also shows that the jury in her discrimination case got it right (that she was not discriminated as she simply was not senior partner material). I do not wish her any lack of success in the future. I hope that all parties involved have learned and matured through this. All in all, no need to go back to a lemon of a car because they swapped out a couple parts
