This page is regularly updated – daily if I get the time.
I am not making any comment or judgement on these resignations or terminations – they are merely newspaper articles I see. I am recording them because there seems to be an inordinate number of high profile or high positioned people resigning or being terminated suddenly and without explanation. I have noticed that while some may seem dodgy or nefarious, there are obviously some resigning because they are sticking to their principles and morals. I take special note of these good people in my mind. Future proves past.
There are just too many for me to keep up with now – this page catches some but not all https://www.resignation.info/list
