Likely to me. So quickly after big merger with WYE, and he is only 55. I assumed he would stay at least after Liptor goes generic.

By the way, we all know what it means most of the time when someone says he wants to spend more time with his family. LOL

Jeff Kindler

For those curious as to what went down before Jeff Kindler unexpectedly resigned last December as the Pfizer ceo, a new treatise in Fortune magazine offers a behind-the-scenes look at the political infighting, overblown aspirations and inept calculations that contributed to his demise, as well as a decade of disappointment and a few spectacular failures at the big drugmaker.

For Kindler, the end came in a plain vanilla Florida airport conference room where he was confronted by three board members, who - after probing a steady stream of confidential reports that his managerial style was overbearing, his behavior was increasingly erratic and his judgment was questionable - decided he must go. Essentially, he was given an ultimatum - with a lot of money.
