   "effective immediately" means either... he doesn't have a contract with a notice period, or he does and is willing to forfeit any benefit from it like share options, etc.

   One reason might be the share price has collapsed and he has no confidence in it coming back (pretty scandalous if he's the CEO!), or Meta has offered him inducements > what he's walking away from.

   Good way to burn a lot of bridges. He's never going to be hired as CEO by anybody for the rest of his career.

      Workers are so much more militant and punitive than executives. It's not other executives that will try and hurt his career because he made a decision and went with it. It will be the worker bees that will attempt to hurt him 5 years down the road -- without even knowing the full story.

         Yes, those poor executives.

            The execs are fine. The barrel crabs certainly are getting active though. It's pure, unadulterated envy. Nothing more.

               its a small club, and you ain't in it friend. No matter how many boots you lick.

                  I don’t need to be in “the club”. Some people badly want that. Let them have it. Why would I have a problem with an executive changing jobs? Because he gets paid more money than me?

                     so you do realise that people can have an opinion on executives without being envious of them
