Fraud Claims and Dumb Dolphins - Mass Layoff!

[Alpha]

I haven't paid any real attention to the background details in this story but I can tell you that I absolutely did not believe his apology.  I found it to be entirely insincere and unconvincing.

A lot of the senior executive team resigned after that mass layoff, which speaks volumes about how the ‘experienced executives’ who know more than us… viewed his actions.  Also lots of reports that very high performers were included in that layoff, which challenges the narrative.  More than any of that though, if ‘the work’ was not being accomplished at the scale he implied… that’s a failure of management and the systems established by him, the CEO.  There’s also a lot of statements out there, supported by some metrics, that HE was overzealous with hiring… and there simply wasn’t enough work.  If that’s true, he was masking his incompetence by making accusations of theft and ethical breaches… that would be a despicable level of toxicity. Reading more about him and how he has been leading the company paints a challenging picture to believe his narrative… seems to be really viewed as a toxic executive…

We’ll see what happens, now that he’s on vacation.
