If she didn't get paid to be the face of the blood letting then she didn't negotiate well enough.

Classic "glass floor" hire. Take the fall, get paid.

She's a corporate executive. Maybe she's not willing to crash the business and take a golden parachute, but if so she's one of a vanishingly small crowd. I would personally bet that she's willing to slash and burn just like other corpos are.

She works for Microsoft. It's kinda their thing.
