Summary
Helen Chiang said in a LinkedIn post that reports she was fired for a Microsoft policy violation are "not accurate," breaking silence weeks after her abrupt exit from Xbox.
The former executive denied leaking confidential information, seeking a job with competitors, or engaging in bullying, harassment, insider trading, embezzlement or discrimination, and said she had hoped to remain at Microsoft.
Chiang added that she was promoted into her most recent role in July, had not pursued bigger jobs, and has "serious concerns" about how company standards were applied in her case.
Her departure lands amid a broader Xbox restructuring that has brought thousands of layoffs, divestitures and studio closures as Microsoft tries to cut gaming costs and refocus the business.
