Helen Chiang, Xbox's first chief operating officer, posted on LinkedIn on November 2 to dispute reports that she was fired for a policy violation after leaving Microsoft. Chiang was promoted in July and left after about three months. Her post, titled "Clarity is Kindess," references a mantra of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. She said her story is about core values and that she has serious concerns about how her case was handled. GameSpot noted that her response does not fully resolve the mystery around her exit.
