I don't think this story is related to 'frankness'.
It's hard to be an executive, and hard to manage them, sometimes they have to go.
The only part that bothered me about this was the cringeworthy fake emotions about the firing. "I'm sorry but we have to 'separate you from Apple'".
That's the bit of California newspeak that drives me nuts.
We can be honest and cordial the same time, and in both directions - and - if we hav just a little bit of tolerance for those who are either a little to frank or a little to effusive, then everyone gets along.
