It's the exact playbook they used on Bon Appetit. The previous guy was primarily damned with racial suppression and underpayment, They brought in a woman who was supposed to be known as firm but fair who was also a minority. The refilled the cast with minorities but everybody had already gone by then.

When they run that playbook I think it's an attempt to portray the image that the person they put in place isn't an old boy a friend of a friend It was somebody who fought to be where they are. I don't know that any of that's actually true but more as often than not they do put a woman in that position when everybody's mad at the asshole leaving.

They'll leave spez in at least until the next round of layoffs. He'll get a parachute no shove somebody unlikeable and see what they can salvage.
