It absolutely was a HUGE problem. Even if he was set up, Conrad created a toxic culture that had to change.
Parker never seemed to understand that he could not flout laws & regulations like Uber; Uber has leverage because consumers love their product, and is able to put pressure on the incumbents and regulators; in contrast, NOBODY would stand up to defend Zenefits, and regulators will shut them down unless they clean up their act asap.
Edit: fixed typo (thanks @gingerrr)
- gingerrr 11y agoI completely agree with your point, just wanted to say as a sidenote I think the word you wanted is "flout" rather than "flaunt".
- flylib 11y agoas a counter point Zenefits already won against the state of Utah when they tried banning them so yes people have already stood up to defend them http://fortune.com/2015/04/13/zenefits-utah-ban-insurance/ http://fortune.com/2015/04/13/zenefits-utah-ban-insurance/
