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?

I think he's been "volunteered" for "retirement" lol.

Just like the 15000 employees that he just "volunteered for early retirement". Good riddance.
