This is NOT about cats and dogs PERIOD!! This is about corporate America’s boardroom politics and greed. This is about how one lame old goose CEO hacked his way right to the top - arm wrestling everyone only to break up a great company and bring it to its knees! All this in full display with a useless, incompetent and corrupt board that looked and looked and allowed the show to go on ! FYI the chairman of the board until the breakup is the current CEO of PayPal and he’s been the chairman of Symantec BOD for the last 15 years ! How on earth was he not rotated ? Would he allow this to happen to PayPal !

Symantec had been mismanaged for years and the culprits include the guy you mentioned. There's simply no more juice to be squeezed out of the the sell, sell, sell orange and they never dared to really rationalise the enterprise division which is why it was barely profitable. Carve it up and leave it a another to shake the tree and do the real work in rationalising and riffing out the disfunction.
We know. Our interim CEO!
