I always wished there was a browser extension that would take an article about a high-profile resignation and overlay the real story, or a translated version of what is likely to be the real story.

The actual nitty gritty dirt of how things went down is honestly fascinating to read and I wish more of those sorts of stories were published, although I fully understand and respect why they are not. These discussions don't happen frequently in one's career (well, hopefully not), and so they can be valuable experiences to learn from when they happen to others.

ha yes, these are always juicy (having seen a few from the inside...). I would have loved to see the maneuverings during E. Pao's departure from Reddit, for example. Overall, for most the execs and companies, a healthy severance package and accelerated vesting on equity is usually enough to keep things quiet with a separation agreement that contains a mutual non-disparagement clause.

On a separate note, Zenefits recent public breakup is one that wasn't spared, and Buzzfeed did a decent job summarizing IMO:
