        History attaches names to things, so resigning at least makes sure you aren’t the one remembered bringing this policy out.

          Maybe… but you could be remembered for fighting against it instead of getting out of the way and letting it happen.

            It’s hard to be the only person fighting sometimes. Especially if she was surrounded by people who were all for this, what good is throwing a sprinkle of water at a bonfire?

            It’s not like she quietly disappeared. She publicly denounced it and went on record actively against it. Making changes require negotiations, and her colleagues have shown they no interest in negotiating.

            It is extremely unlikely that this was her Plan A. It’s also extremely unlikely that it was just this one isolated thing. And now, she’s free to join groups that actively interested in fighting against this and throwing her experience and network in as resources to help them instead.
