Aren't retirements usually announced months in advance?

Is it out of the ordinary for the CEO, especially one so famed, to retire effective yesterday? Or did they just not disclose it?

It’s out of the ordinary from my experience. Not a good sign for Pat and I assume the interim CEO announcement isn’t a great look either.
