Thoughts on: Staying Classy

So, Carol Bartz, ex-CEO of Yahoo, was apparently unceremoniously fired earlier this week by Chairman Roy Bostock. Over the phone. In an interview with Fortune, Bartz says she told Bostock about his method for firing her, "I thought you were classier."

If you read that interview with Fortune, you'll note Bartz takes an almost belligerent tone, blames everyone but herself, and even drops the f-bomb.

I'm not sure Bartz's post-firing behavior puts her in a position to criticize someone else's class. Perhaps it doesn't mean what she thinks it means.
