It's hard to read between the lines here.

- 2 months is a odd notice period (one would expect three). So was he pushed?

- the role is being split in two from his departure. This usually means the role had more power than was comfortable.

- but it's still two Months. Any signs of gardening leave?

Senior VP Payment Services and CTO seem to be two roles that one person may have been right to fill in a special case (with a very special person), but where usually the best person to fill one wouldn't be the best person to fill the other.

It's likely that it's been planned for much longer than 2 months, and is only being publicized now, after everyone has prepared for the transition.

PayPal had good earnings last quarter ( http://techcrunch.com/2016/01/27/paypal-shares-up-on-earning... ), so bad performance may not be the reason.

He was CTO, why would infrastructure guy ever be held responsible for poor overall performance? It's not rocket science, nor F1 team
