This was partially his mess as well since he was COO before becoming CEO, no? And he has a very significant investment in Zenefits which he made when becoming COO, so while he does not draw a cash salary, it's hard to say he is under-compensated given the investment opportunity and his ownership stake. I do think he had a very difficult job as turnarounds are tough, and he made a good effort.

There's a difference in the scale of the offense (but in either case people weren't physically harmed), but contrast this with the thread about the Wells Fargo CEO stepping down, where people here thought the CEO should go to prison for the culture he set at the company. The SV guys get sympathy and an "'atta boy!"
- harryh 10y agoHe was only COO for a year before the CEO got fired and he took over. I think it's fair to say that it's partially his mess but also fair to say that a lot of the mess got created before he started as COO.
