As toxic and horrible she was in her leadership, she managed to get herself hired at another company through her competencies.

Another worth mentioning is the marketing and comms division. The current batch of D & DDs are quite recent, only come onboard imda during LCH's reign (read: majority of their predecessors most likely left because they ain't fans of LCH's mediocre leadership). It doesn't make sense for the previous batch of D & DDs to resign if they haven't secured a job first. It's probably easier for them to get hired at another place as marketing and comms ain't subjected to the ill effects of incompetent senior leadership that threaten their own professional competence.
