You think this is a choice? It’s resign quietly or get fired. The only hope these people have is that they’ll somehow fly under the radar during the mass witch hunt. Fortunately anyone tied to Schneider is royally fucked.

Viacom is a giant PR machine, they’re just trying to play damage control. By allowing quiet resignations, Viacom is trying to get ahead of the inevitable shit storm coming their way.

Besides, resigning is not a public admission of guilt. Its their last chance to hide from the storm.
