Former Xbox COO Helen Chiang has denied claims that she was 'fired for a policy violation', stating that reports are 'not the whole story'. Chiang, who spent 21 years at Xbox, was made COO in July this year but left the company recently. She has spoken out about her departure, addressing specific rumours and allegations made about her exit.
Chiang denies leaking confidential company information, leaving to join a competitor, engaging in discriminatory or fraudulent activity, and being passed over for a bigger role. She suggests that her departure was unfair and that she has serious concerns about how the company applied its standards in her case. Chiang concludes that her story is about staying true to her core values, especially when it is hard, and that this is not the whole story.
