At first I thought this was a great story about a selfless boss who fired herself instead of her employees. And I guess it still kind of is.
But I realized, wait a second, how is that any different than tons of CEO's who have taken one-dollar-a-year in salary during this recession? I don't know why she wouldn't do that - allowing her skill set to still be of benefit to the organization.
I suspect there's more to this story about why she quit than CNN articulates in their coverage (nothing bad per se, but something else that wasn't covered in the story).
I know average folks watching television don't think about this stuff, but PR folks see a story like this and start thinking 'How did this make it in to the media? Who pitched it? What's the back story?'
