Wow. Didn't see that coming at all :(

EDIT: Well, after reading the article it appears he was a naughty boy. What a fool.

You look at a woman wrong, and your career is over.

Duck and cover, these are delicate times. Keep yo' hands to yo' self.

I like to disassemble things.
Nair did a great job and we all benefited from it. I'm worried his replacement won't do the same.

More importantly, let this be a lesson. He was at the top, bringing the best products to market - but a series of errors in judgement took him all the way to the bottom and out. Ford did the right thing.

He must have reallllllllllllllllly fucked something up. Some serious accusations. You don't fire someone that high up on a random Wednesday without there being some serious issues.

For all we know he could have got heated and called Hackett a dumb ass or something in front of investors.

Let's not speculate on this until we find out what happened. Dude could get screwed over by the internet assuming it was something sexually assault related.

That's quite the narrative you have there:rolleyes:

For this to be the result of an "anonymous tip", I'd hope it was at least something that was easily confirmable/traceable such as something funding related, not just a female co-worker that felt slighted in some way or something along those lines. I mean, seriously, an anonymous tip?:tsk:

You don't fire the North American PD President for a baseless tip. Especially on a random Wednesday with no immediate replacement. If it was sexual harassment such as just verbal or something of that nature they would've lined everything up and forced him out. Not fire him.

Whatever it was, had to have been legitimate. Ford is hurting right now, they wouldn't hurt themselves further needlessly unless it would've hurt their public image for something to get out that they were protecting someone who did something bad.

Corporate America disposes of people like toilet paper, no matter the level they are. In todays environment an allegation is all thats needed to destroy peoples lives. Guaranteed he was well compensated on the way out.
