How often does this happen in other industrialized nations?

Or maybe she wasn't doing what was needed to increase sales for Tuesday Morning and they made the change for that reason.

Why don't you find out if the company you work for or any of it's officers hold shares in the insurance company they use to insure you ?

Hard to say. There's evidence to support servant's suggestion that the company was not doing as well as expected. I assume that her statement is true that she was fired shortly after disclosing her cancer. So the jury's out.

They also waited 3 months before firing her, and 3 months after the April sales results.

Some companies only have board meetings 4 times per year, also.

I would think that ousting a CEO would require action by the board.

Peace and comfort,

So we are entertaining the idea that this might be post hoc ergo protper hoc ?

I mean that it is just a coincidence ? We'll never know of course, but if the company has deep pockets, sue baby sue. I wish I had someone to sue. When I got through the baliff would take them by the feet and hold them upside down so all the change falls out of their pockets.
