Odds are exceedingly high that spez is doing the Board's bidding.

The Board is not your savior here.

The reason for spez to be out is less the decisions and more the execution and communication. He clearly sucks at PR.

But it may the intent to have him make all the unpopular changes, have him resign with a big payout, and blame him for everything without reversing anything like they did with Ellen Pao.

Though usually that's a hired gun (e.g., Pao, Wong) rather than a somewhat-harder-to-replace returned founder.

In retrospect, I think Pao earned a bad and bum rap.
