Carta always talks about how it imagines itself as a sports team. When the team is doing badly, don't they usually fire the head coach? I guess they aren't willing to take the analogy that far, they just like the bit about expecting everyone to be a superstar.

Who said Carta was performing poorly? A more apt analogy is that the franchise's budget just got slashed by 10%, so now they need to rearrange the talent budget... This happens all the time in sports teams too.

They fired and sued the CEO, which means they should probably have noticed something before having to fire 10% of the company.

CTO[1], not CEO. Still C-Suite, but not the top dog.
