lol the fact that he chose to bitch about it in the company Slack openly proves that the board was right to push him out, like what did he expect, that the remaining employees that haven’t been laid off yet will rally to support him, This guy has lost his marbles the along the way, the ones who took the $30,000 severance to quit must be very happy right now
I used to work at an international, where the CEO left to create a new startup.
The amount of people that worked in his office, that made glazing email all (yep all 2500 global workers) was astounding. In short, that guy was seen mostly as a joke in a large slew of the offices. Because he was so lost from reality.
But he had a cult following, because he was some kind of a name within a niche

What about my comment makes you think I feel sorry for him lol
He’s absolutely the main antagonist, not a “fall guy” or “the face.”

main guys can’t be put on leave
Motherfucker you know the extra T in AutoMATTic is him, right?
It’s possible to be the owner and founder of a company and, over the course of time, sell enough of your share of a company to be beholden to a board of minority owners/investors, right?
