I don't think they wanted/expected him to quit.  Figured he'd be okay with a loss of authority as long as he kept his office, title, and compensation.   He obviously wasn't.  My guess is that they are trying desperately behind the scenes to patch things up and convince him to return, and he's having none of it.

They're screwed.

This is not uncommon in the corporate world. The CFO thinks he is smarter than the CEO, plus he knows where all the bodies are buried.  So he attempts some sort of coup.  The CEO gets wind of it and fires the CFO. Then the board steps in and decides to oust the CEO and elevate the CFO to the CEO spot. Or not, depending on who controls the board. I have seen this very thing on boards I have personally sat on.  In my case the CFO lost the battle and lost his job because a board member who had been encouraging him to instigate the coup turned out to be a spy for the CEO (no, it wasn't me). It can be a very treacherous business.

The interpersonal crap that goes on in even large companies is incredible.

Wonder if there is non-compete built into the contract...

They gotta figger they have him roped out, or they would not do this...
Where is Project Veritas incorporated?

If it's New York (doubtful, but possible) or a few other states, you can't put non-compete clauses in anymore.

Project Veritas claimed James O’Keefe risked group’s nonprofit status

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/21/james-okeefe-project-veritas-irs-nonprofit/

Excerpt.

Then what's the point of PV?  And how many liberal 501c3's engage in partisan behavior?
THAT sounds like the (weaponized) IRS paid someone a visit and said "Nice organization you got here..."
Does Pfizer have that much clout that it could pull those strings (directly or indirectly)?
Maybe some other outfit not yet in the spotlight?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
