Accavitti leaving to "...to pursue other interests...."
That's the euphemism my company has used when a senior exec gets fired.

So what's wrong with saying someone was fired? It is what it is. Skip the PC bull and cut to the chase. "Mr. So-and-so's employment with XYZ Corp. has been terminated." That's not so difficult to say, is it?

Article says Acavetti resigned. Guess that means there was a difference of opinion.

When a top exec leaves they are usually given the choice of "leaving to pursue other options".
When they do that it is like one of us leaving for more money. No bad mark on our record.
If they don't do it that way then they were "fired" and it doesn't look good.

Well, non-the-less, he's gone. He was the driving force behind DODGE's support of NASCAR. Maybe that was one of the "differences of opinion".

I'm much clearer on the phraseology now. My boss at Kaiser wasn't quite so eloquent. He told me my position was eliminated effective immediately. I could clean out my office and say goodbye. This was not for disciplinary reasons, just a business decision, but he felt no need to sugarcoat it.
