On: Automattic has a new board after failed attempt to put CEO on leave

How does this even work? Surely if you are going to move them out, you'd revoke the severance package first?

That's. That's just not how contracts for severance packages work.

I'm not familiar with this case but most severance packages I've dealt with are valid for everything except like death or federal prison.
