She has no right to complain when 1/14th of her severance pay is enough to comfortably sustain any ordinary person for the rest of his/her life.

Don't forget that she was also once upon a time CEO for Adobe, so she's pretty much won the lottery twice over.

Seems being canned over the phone was more of an ego killer then anything else.
Carol, take the money and run. Buy a nice island in the south pacific.
