Apparently, Palm’s SVP of Global Markets has decided that he no longer wants to soil his name with a company that feels running pedicure parties is a suitable way to advertise handhelds.

John Hartnett did the only sensible thing by leaving the orange ship on November the 28th, heading out to greener, saner, safer and more comfortable pastures.

The 8K filing contains nothing about why John suddenly saw the light – in case you don’t believe us, enjoy the full text below:

Change in Directors or Principal Officers

Item 5.02(b) Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

C. John Hartnett’s employment with Palm, Inc. (the “Company”) will terminate effective November 28, 2008. Mr. Hartnett is the Senior Vice President, Global Markets of the Company.

Item 5.02(e) Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 30, 2008, Palm entered into an agreement with C. John Hartnett, to provide that upon the termination of Mr. Hartnett’s employment with Palm his vested options will remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year following his date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the relevant option).

P.S. The Tamoggemon Content team congratulates Sir Hartnett on his sensible and smart decision. We wish him all the best for the future!
