The Boden / Blomfield Saga

Indeed.

I have to say, I like Anne and want to believe that she isn’t totally lying - I don’t think she would do that.

But I also like Eileen and Tom too.

I believe that almost everything that they have all said is true, aside from minor details which may be slightly embellished or misremembered. Anne’s account seems basically accurate, based on what we already know in the public domain. It seems Tom was quite cutthroat, but then even Anne herself admits some naivety and says she should always have at least been aware that Tom might want to be CEO.

It does read as though Anne thought of Tom as a friend and that’s partly why she never thought he would stab her in the back. It’s easy to see why she regards it as a betrayal. But then Tom probably did just think “business is business”, and this sort of thing goes on in Silicon Valley all the time.

In terms of “was he fair to Anne?”, I would find myself siding with Anne as I’d like to think I wouldn’t have behaved the way Tom did.
