Weird action by the board. Somebody done somebody wrong ?

George lives across the cul de sac from my mother's old house. Guess the neighbors will be seeing more of him now... though actually, I'll bet he moves away fairly quickly after this, even though he's been living there for over thirty years.

I wonder if this is a Jobsian firing (i.e. when Sculley took over as CEO and had the board fire him. George Zimmer hired the current CEO in 2011 and two years later finds himself on the street.
