The CEO refused to apologize, and instead doubled down, taking advantage of a massive power differential between himself and a random college grad. He only apologized when the differential evaporated after the post hit the top of HN with something like 3000 points. I don't know about you, but I don't find that to be particularly acceptable, nor a "mistake", and I'm happy to continue to punish a CEO's unethical behavior.

Sounds pretty toxic

Why is he toxic? reminds me of those media influencers calling for others to lose their jobs, freedoms and lives because they wouldn't take the vaccine.

I'll never forgive them for their toxicity and I don't think that makes me toxic.
