Why these abrupt resignations?

Abrupt?
Ms French Gates took three years after the divorce before resigning from the board. There aren't many folks work peacefully with their exes for that long, I imagine.
Besides, how does one resign in slow motion? Either you resign from something or you don't. How slowly would you prefer that she had done it?

There is no "here" here. Maybe look at some real scandals. It's much more societally useful than inventing new ones out of whole cloth.
