I actually had a convo with Seph that revolved around this--I'm pretty sure at this cutthroat level of corporate, it sometimes doesn't matter if you're good (or even excellent) at your job. Even in Steph's position. There's now a new directive and shareholders/board members who want things to be a certain way.

And honestly, from my limited perspective, it seems like they're trying to find every which way to increase profitability so they can sell at a premium. Doing so might be beyond Steph's capabilities, despite her being really great at what she does.

Plus, maybe saying "hundreds of millions" (if those reports are true) was political suicide as far as Steph holding onto her role goes. She over-promised and under-delivered, even if it was an ambitious goal.

We also don't know if that Vince story is true--but since it's BI reporting it instead of Uncle Dave, it raises some questions. That said, she'll be fine and likely remain comfortable in another prominent role (at least optically).
