“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.”
The most visible executive in tech got fired by blog post on a Friday afternoon. The board says he wasn’t candid and won’t say about what. Employees learned it from the same public page as everyone else, and Greg Brockman quit the same day. A nonprofit board that answers to “humanity as a whole” just showed it answers to nobody, including its own staff.
