> to the company

Where did you get this though?

> had announced their intention to accept buyouts from the company.

Is it just people clicking 'yes' reaction to internal slack message ? This didn't sound like they were making any commitment ' to the company' .

Also do you have any comment about the title of the article that you linked. Does that seem honest to you?

So strange to white-knight a company and attempt to deny something that happened pretty publicly...

it was just skepticism from seeing these sorts of claims over the years. Half of hollywood would be in canada if people really followed up on those. At some point it became acceptable to make these sort of claims with no intention of following up.

I guess quitting your job in the hottest tech market of all time is a little different than moving to a different country.

> Last week was terrible. We started with policy changes that felt simple, reasonable, and principled, and it blew things up internally in ways we never anticipated. David and I completely own the consequences, and we're sorry. We have a lot to learn and reflect on, and we will. The new policies stand, but we have some refining and clarifying to do.
