Could it be it's a very intense place to work and people who get in that position decide they don't want to work the long hours when they could be making just as much money somewhere more cushy?
- matwood 8y agoYou're kidding right? Any CxO position at a publicly traded company is long hours with a lot of work and responsibility.
- dunpeal 8y agoExactly. We can be quite sure that whatever CFO Tesla hires is well-aware of the expected workload, stress levels etc in advance. While we don't know for sure why they resign so quickly, it has to do with something surprising that happens after they join. The CFO and those who hire him have decades of industry experience collectively. A CFO quitting so quickly is not a result desired by any of them. This is not some fluke or a minor issue. There's no positive way to spin this.
- ericb 8y ago> Any CxO position at a publicly traded company is long hours I don't think that's true at all. The CFO/CEO at companies I've worked at are not working 120 hour weeks, and they were publicly traded. If anything, they were there about 40 hours a week.
- antt 8y agoAnd most CEO positions don't involve you smoking a joint on air during those 120 hours either.
- leesec 8y agoThis is a hilarious non-issue that pulls on antiquated notions of drug usage. This whiskey he was sipping for 2 hours in that podcast was much more harmful then that single puff of legal weed he took, but nobody cares about that.
- antt 8y agoAnd if everything was going well we would be talking about how hip he is, but it isn't. When you've said you will take your company private at $420 a share, then completely back track and admit you weren't and get investigated by the FTC you invite more scrutiny than usual. #420 #YOLO #BLAZEIT is not a good way to run a company that has three months of funding left.
- bob_theslob646 8y agoThere's a difference between a publicly traded company and the most talked about publicly traded company.
- leesec 8y agoI think you're mostly correct, but more or less I was just trying to suggest that there could be other reasons why people leave companies a month in, other than just sketchy, the-company-is-on-fire type issues.
