According to Glenn Burkins with QCityMetro.com:
"She informed the mayor of her departure in an email dated Saturday, Oct. 29.
Johnson began working with the mayor in the winter of 2010 to help coordinate events with the media and residents. Her email notice did not state a reason for her leaving, and efforts to reach her were unsuccessful. Johnson had been on medical leave earlier this year but had returned.
Foxx was criticized by some Republicans when he hired Johnson shortly after he was elected in Nov. 2009. Critics accused the mayor of wasting tax dollars at a time when the city, like the rest of the nation, was mired in an economic slump.
In her email to Foxx, Johnson thanked the mayor for a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“It has been an honor and privilege to serve you and the citizens of Charlotte as communications manager in the Office of the Mayor,” she wrote.
QCityMetro.com is an on line news source targeting Charlotte African American community that broke the story yesterday. Emails to Mayor Foxx remain unanswered.

Cedar Posts showing his racist black leader hating colors again.
When has Erica Johnson ever been criticized?
Is Erica Johnson black?
She had the job less than a year of which 2 months she spent on a sick leave?
Her job was just another act of reparation for sins of slavery.
No need to work just get in line for the Obama hand outs.
Wait to you hear about her severance package. It will boil your blood. Nothing but hush money.
It doesn't matter if she is pink or green, WHY should she get a severance if she quit? If it is true she is getting a severance.....
Why?
If Foxx is just part time and as I understand it he is paid only $14k a year why in the world does he have fulltime assistants being paid over $70k plus benefits?
I don't know what Foxx gets now, but a couple years ago, the Mayor's salary was around $40,000. It's not included in the city salary database so I don't know how to check that one.
Cedar, It would appear from these comments a little more digging might be a good thing...just saying
@8:57am - Why does everything have to relate back to racism? That seems to be the only catchphrase used by blacks when they can't decipher the difference between being black and being corrupt....no the two do not go hand in hand and neither does common sense and cronyism....
The good old boys of the 60's and 70's did the same thing back then, but they were white. Just because now some (not all) of the black leaders are doing it does that make it right to you? Apparently it does.... hypocrite much?
Interesting....to say the least. Wonder if this time he will post the job so others can apply?
