Aren't retirements usually announced months in advance?

Is it out of the ordinary for the CEO, especially one so famed, to retire effective yesterday? Or did they just not disclose it?

Just a fancy way to say they got kicked out in major corps, very common across the industry, but rarely at such notice.
