It's been what? 3 1/2 years? He was probably under contract to stay for 3 years and he now has a big pile of money and the power to do what he wants.
So he gloriously exits on principal and plays hero for a day while thumbing his nose at the company that made him rich for the decisions that made him rich.
- confounded 8y agoWell... that’s what I’d do. What would you?
- Steeeve 8y agoI'd take a long hard look at myself, my current opportunity, and what I want to do. It would be hard to walk away from the opportunity to occasionally influence someone like Zuck, or the opportunity to occasionally influence the global end user base of Facebook. I'm not saying what he did is a bad thing. It's th human thing. More saying that his position isn't all that newsworthy. It's pretty easy to take a pot shot on your way out the door. If changing minds was his real goal, staying and making change happen from the inside is much more realistic.

- tim333 8y agoWell, he could have just said so long, thanks for the cash, I'm off to get a big yacht. I think he does care about the stuff he's complaining about.
- liberte82 8y agoHe at least did the honorable thing by issuing a public warning on his way out. I bet the Facebooks learn from these experiences and start requiring NDAs for their acquisitions. Anyway, someone can just build another Whatsapp.
