Well, in hindsight, that's really bad, truly inconsiderate timing by Benioff.
He should have gone through the usual ritualistic theater of accepting all responsibility and showing that he feels ashamed and remorseful about the ~7,000 individuals who had bought into his Hawaiian spiel and have now been kicked out of the company to fend for themselves.
CEOs can't just fire people and disappear; they must act publicly with contrition, as if they care -- even if it's only temporarily for show.
Fittingly, "aloha!" can mean either "hello!" or "goodbye!" in Hawaiian.
