Have you considered that she has not psychologically coped with any of this process. She disappeared after that last performance on stage where she was obviously not dealing with things well. She has been part of this company for 22 years, and then had to sit back and watch while MD and Silverlake sold it, and allow it to be ripped to shreds. She had no power to stop it or even influence it. Yes, she has walked away a very wealthy woman, but I don’t think she’s happy.

She referenced a party that less than 10 of the company could attend!
It is mind boggling that she got should a large retention package.

"She's just an executive of a company."

Exactly, she was one of the key people who could have worked toward fixing the VMW culture of mediocrity, but didn't do anything meaningful to get the company back on track.

All VMW senior executives should have been compensated on the basis of their performance, not their longevity at the company. VMW celebrated years of service. Meanwhile the company declined into the abyss of legacy enterprise software vendors.

It's Cyber Monday and Betsy just came into a lot of money. She has shopping to do and no time for writing emails.

The VMW leaders can't depart fast enough now. Who can blame them, when you consider the mismanagement of the company crisis that led to the panic sale to AVGO.

They can't face the remaining employees. Still, a shameful performance as they exited.

I think she wanted to let us know that she is not involved in what's coming.
