This is just delusional. It was obvious to everyone she was in an impossible job with a megalomaniacal boss ,and not only did she not get fired, she actually lasted 2 years and left on her own terms. I think she'll be just fine.


The reputational damage was taking the money to profit from and aid the megalomania. She'll never be taken seriously by serious people or have a substantive job again. But she'll do fine, her loyalty will probably get her similar opportunity with similar people.


Shes 62 she can just retire and live on a beach for the next 30 or so years.

As Rust Kohle said in "True Detective": "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time..."


She _accepted_ the job, though. If we're assuming it was obvious to everyone that it was an impossible job, then her accepting it shows a certain lack of judgement, surely.


"I accepted a difficult position with the expectation that I would make a significant impact on the company's future. Now, looking back, I'm pleased with what I was able to accomplish. I look forward to more challenging engagements."

At least, that's how I would spin it.

But I'd probably have AI massage the text a bit ;-)

Just not Grok specifically. Wouldn't want it "massaging the text" with ethnic jokes.


If your boss was a jackass would you actually turn your nose at 6m a year? I sure wouldn’t. That would set me up for life.
